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

Drought stress is one of the important factors limiting the growth of the apple industry. Although 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), an ancient indole amine, is widely present in plants, the role of 5-HT in drought stress in apples is unknown. We tested the impact of 5-HT on long-term drought stress in apple seedlings. Our findings revealed that 1 μM of exogenous 5-HT could improve the resistance of apple seedlings to short- and long-term drought stress. These plants experienced better root growth, more efficient water use, and less reactive oxygen species (ROS). The higher ABA levels mediated by 5-HT in leaves increased stomatal density and improved the photosynthetic capacity of leaves. Furthermore, exogenous 5-HT boosted the expression of drought stress-related genes, enabling apple plants to adapt to drought stress.
