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 messageThe targeted mutation of the strigolactone biosynthetic gene, CCD8, through genome-editing CRISPR-Cas9 induces dwarfism and enhanced branching in Eustoma grandiflorum. In ornamental plants, modifying shoot architecture is a major breeding objective for diverse applications; however, achieving this goal using conventional techniques remains challenging. Strigolactones are plant hormones that inhibit shoot branching. We aimed to generate a strigolactone-deficient mutant of Eustoma grandiflorum using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. Four guide RNAs targeting CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 8 (EgCCD8) were designed, and transgenic E. grandiflorum plants were produced. Three independent lines carried deletions or insertions in all EgCCD8 alleles, indicating high editing efficiency. Two lines exhibited increased branching and pronounced dwarfism. In one of these lines, plant height in T
