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

The improvement of sucrose yield in sugarcane is impeded by the crop's complex polyploid genome and slow progress in breeding. To clarify how arginine (Arg) regulates sugar metabolism and identify key genes associated with sucrose transport and accumulation in sugarcane, a screening experiment was performed by spraying L-arginine hydrochloride on the leaves and leaf sheaths of three sugarcane varieties (YZ05-51, YZ08-1609, and YT93-159), which differ in growth vigor, leaf morphology and other phenotypic traits. YZ05-51 exhibited the most prominent sugar-increasing effect, and subsequent optimization experiments on its leaf sheaths revealed that 20 g/mu L-arginine hydrochloride at pH 7.0 was optimal, significantly enhancing stem sucrose content. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the upregulation of genes related to sucrose synthesis and transport, with candidate genes enriched in pathways such as starch-sucrose metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Metabolomic analysis detected 32 sugar metabolites across three categories, of which 24 were differentially abundant (e.g., glucose, galactose, fructose, and mannose). Integrated multi-omics analysis identified key regulatory genes, including
