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.
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
Pea powdery mildew severely reduces crop yield and quality, yet the dynamic molecular and metabolic regulatory networks underlying resistance differences between different pea varieties remain poorly understood. Here, we profiled the defense landscape of susceptible (Longwan 3) and resistant (Longwan 5) pea varieties across three infection stages (0, 3, and 6 days post-inoculation) via integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. Multi-omics data revealed pronounced differences in metabolic reconfiguration (1754 metabolites identified) and transcriptional reprogramming (34566 genes annotated) between the two pea cultivars. Integrated Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) consistently identified the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway as the core pathway driving powdery mildew resistance. The resistant variety exhibited sustained upregulation of key biosynthetic genes (e.g., phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and cinnamate 4-hydroxylase), which directly drove the accumulation of defensive metabolites including ferulic acid and sinapic acid. Although some gene-metabolite correlations were consistent, others (e.g., those involving β-glucosidase and peroxidase genes) reflected a complex, multi-layered regulatory network involving post-transcriptional regulation and metabolic feedback mechanisms. Our study advances our understanding of dynamic defense mechanisms in legumes, and offers novel molecular targets for enhancing powdery mildew resistance, as well as efficient markers for precision breeding of elite pea varieties.
