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

MAIN

conclusionHeterologous expression of NcNPF6.3-1 promotes nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation in plants and improves nutrient removal efficiency in eutrophic water, indicating that this gene plays an important role in nutrient acquisition and has potential for phytoremediation applications. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential mineral nutrients for plant growth. However, their excessive application can lead to water eutrophication. Aquatic plants provide an environmentally friendly and sustainable strategy for the ecological restoration of eutrophic aquatic ecosystems. Water lily (Nymphaea L.) is known to purify eutrophic water, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its nutrient uptake remain unclear. In this study, we identified and characterized NcNRT1/PTR6.3-1 (NcNPF6.3-1), a nitrate transporter family member from Nymphaea colorata Peter, which is exclusively localized to the plasma membrane. Heterologous expression of NcNPF6.3-1 (NcNPF6.3-1-Ex) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) significantly promoted flowering and increased grain yield under moderate-N (N1: 0.27 g N/kg soil) and low-N (N2: 0.09 g N/kg soil) levels. Furthermore, NcNPF6.3-1-Ex lines exhibited enhanced total N and total P accumulation under N2 conditions. Notably, in simulated eutrophic water, NcNPF6.3-1-Ex lines showed substantially higher removal efficiencies of nitrate nitrogen (NO
