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
backgroundSoil salinity is a major abiotic stress that severely restricts peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) growth, yield, and quality. As peanut is highly sensitive to saline-alkaline conditions, identifying transcription factors involved in salt stress tolerance is of considerable importance. Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) transcription factors are known regulators of abiotic stress responses; however, their functional roles in peanut remain poorly characterized. METHODS AND
resultsIn this study, the AhDREB gene, encoding a DREB transcription factor, was overexpressed in peanut to investigate its regulatory function under salt stress. Transgenic T1 lines (TA1-1, TA1-6, and TA1-10) were generated via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and verified by PCR, RT-PCR, and Western blot analyses. Under salt stress (250 mM NaCl), AhDREB transcript levels increased by 3.39-, 3.27-, and 4.06-fold in TA1-1, TA1-6, and TA1-10, respectively, compared with non-stressed controls. The downstream osmolyte biosynthetic genes AhP5CR and AhBADH were significantly upregulated, with expression increases of 2.66-3.07-fold and 2.01-4.04-fold, respectively. Consistently, proline and glycine betaine contents were markedly elevated, reaching up to 9.71- and 9.37-fold higher levels in TA1-10 plants than in controls. Among the transgenic lines, TA1-10 exhibited the highest transcriptional activity and osmolyte accumulation.
conclusionsThese results demonstrate that AhDREB enhances salt tolerance in peanut by transcriptionally activating AhP5CR and AhBADH, thereby promoting osmolyte biosynthesis and improving osmotic adjustment under saline conditions. This study provides the first functional characterization of AhDREB as a novel transcription factor regulating salt stress responses in peanut.
