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.

Abstract
Cotton growth is frequently constrained by drought stress. Previous studies demonstrated that γ-PGA enhances cotton drought tolerance. Transcriptome analysis of γ-PGA-treated cotton revealed that multiple TIFY family members were markedly induced, among which GhJAZ8 showed the most pronounced upregulation. Sequence analysis indicated that GhJAZ8 belongs to the JAZ/TIFY5A subfamily, and its expression was significantly upregulated under drought stress. Virus-induced gene silencing of GhJAZ8 markedly decreased drought tolerance in cotton, evidenced by aggravated leaf wilting, reduced RWC, elevated MDA content, weakened antioxidant enzyme activities, and decreased proline accumulation. Conversely, overexpression of GhJAZ8 in Arabidopsis significantly enhanced drought tolerance. Furthermore, γ-PGA treatment improved drought tolerance in both TRV2 and GhJAZ8-silenced plants, but the effect was more pronounced in TRV2 plants, indicating that GhJAZ8 is required for the full effect of γ-PGA. Exogenous MeJA treatment only partially alleviated the drought-sensitive phenotype of GhJAZ8-silenced plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed that DEGs were predominantly enriched in ABA, JA, and SA signaling pathways, and hormone quantification further confirmed that GhJAZ8 silencing significantly altered endogenous ABA, JA, and SA levels. Taken together, this study reveals that GhJAZ8 functions as a positive regulator in cotton drought response and acts as an important downstream component of the γ-PGA-mediated drought tolerance pathway by modulating multiple phytohormone signaling pathways, providing a candidate gene resource for drought-tolerant cotton breeding.
