1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

key messageTaGα regulates wheat development in a dose-dependent manner: a single mutant of TaGα solely accelerates heading, while a double mutant not only accelerates heading but also shortens organ length. The Gα subunit plays a crucial role in plant organ development and heading time; however, the exact functions in wheat are unknown. In the present study, knockout mutations in functional TaGα-7A and TaGα-7D were generated in the spring wheat cultivar 'Fielder' using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Both single and double mutants exhibited early heading time. Reduced plant height, leaf length, and grain length were observed exclusively in the double mutant Gα
