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

Seed weight is a key determinant of soybean yield; however, its underlying genetic regulation remains poorly understood. Here, besides the previously reported positive seed weight regulator GmST05/GmSW5, which encodes a protein homologue of Arabidopsis Mother of TFL1 and FT (MFT), we identify GmSW19 that exert negative effect on seed weight. GmSW19 belongs to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor family; it encoded bZIP transcription factor can represses GmSW5 expression. We further discover that the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3)-like kinase GmSK21 physically interacts with and phosphorylates GmSW19. A single nucleotide polymorphism (A to C), resulting in a T to P substitution in GmSW19, which alters its phosphorylation by GmSK21 and consequently its protein abundance. Functional analyses reveal that the GmSW19
