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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Two novel Arabidopsis phytochrome genes, PHYD and PHYE, are described and evidence is presented that, together with the previously described PHYA, PHYB and PHYC genes, the primary structures of the complete phytochrome family of this plant are now known. The PHYD- and PHYE-encoded proteins are of similar size to the other phytochrome apoproteins and show sequence similarity along their entire lengths. Hence, red/far-red light sensing in higher plants is mediated by a diverse but structurally conserved group of soluble photoreceptors. The proteins encoded by the PHYD and PHYE genes are more closely related to phytochrome B than to phytochromes A or C, indicating that the evolution of the PHY gene family in Arabidopsis includes an expansion of a PHYB-related subgroup. The PHYB and PHYD phytochromes show greater than 80% amino acid sequence identity but the phenotypes of phyB null mutants demonstrate that these receptor forms are not functionally redundant. The five PHY mRNAs are, in general, expressed constitutively under varying light conditions, in different plant organs, and over the life cycle of the plant. These observations provide the first description of the structure and expression of a complete phytochrome family in a higher plant.
