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

Introduction: Drought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses limiting crop productivity, and abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure is a key mechanism underlying plant drought resistance. Although ABA signaling has been extensively characterized in Methods: To investigate the role of Actin Depolymerizing Factor 4 (ADF4) in ABA signaling, we examined its interaction with RCAR12 using bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC), GST pull-down, and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays. Genetic interactions between ADF4 and RCAR12 were further analyzed using Results: ADF4 physically interacted with RCAR12 Discussion: These findings demonstrate that ADF4 functionally interacts with the ABA receptor RCAR12 and that the two proteins act synergistically in regulating ABA responses. Our results establish a link between actin dynamics and ABA receptor-mediated signaling and suggest that ADF4-RCAR12 coordination contributes to ABA-induced stomatal regulation and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.
