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

Legumes are among the most important protein-rich crops in global agri-food systems. To meet the rising protein demand of a growing population, significant efforts are underway to enhance legume yield, nutritional quality, and resilience to environmental stresses through the manipulation of key genetic traits. Advanced technologies-including genetic engineering, gene editing, genomic selection, next-generation sequencing, single-cell genomics, and multi-omics-are accelerating legume improvement due to their high precision and efficiency. This review focuses on major gene-editing technologies, namely, CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9), TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases), ZFNs (Zinc Finger Nucleases), base editing (BE), and prime editing (PE), and their applications in key legume crops such as soybean (
