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

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are chemically diverse plant steroid hormones produced via a branched biosynthetic pathway. The potent BR brassinolide is sensed by the membrane receptor kinase BRI1 and a SERK co-receptor, but the physiological functions of other abundant BRs remain to be characterized. Here we present quantitative binding kinetics for 4 Arabidopsis thaliana BR receptors and 15 BRs, which define the key chemical features required for high-affinity receptor binding, ligand positioning and co-receptor recognition. BRI1, BRL1 and BRL3 share overlapping ligand preferences, whereas BRL2 binds C
