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

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) has lagged in yield compared with major cereals, largely due to suboptimal architecture. Here, we report a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of the dwarf, multi-tillering cultivar Dungu and identify SiSD1 (Semi Dwarf 1) via map-based cloning. This gene encodes GA20ox2, the rice SD1 ortholog involved in gibberellin biosynthesis. The loss-of-function sisd1 reduces bioactive gibberellins and remodels nitrogen metabolism, conferring semi-dwarfism, increased tillering, and higher yield. Critically, the semi-dominantly heterozygous SiSD1/sisd1 in F
