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
The tobacco retrotransposon Tto1, one of a few active retrotransposons of plants, has been shown to be activated by tissue culture. Its transposition is regulated mainly at the transcriptional level. It is shown here that expression of Tto1 can be induced in leaves of tobacco by wounding stress. Exogenous supply of methyl jasmonate, which is known to be a potent inducer of certain wound-responsive genes in plants, also induces Tto1 RNA expression. Tto1 RNA was detected within 2 to 4 h after wounding/cutting treatment, and increased levels of Tto1 RNA were observed during subsequent incubation periods for 48 h. Expression of Tto1 RNA after cutting treatment was induced more significantly in young expanding leaves rather than in older mature leaves, suggesting that developmental or physiological factors may be required for the strong response to Tto1 transcription to wounding stimuli. Experiments with transgenic tobacco plants carrying the Tto1-LTR: beta-glucuronidase fusion gene (LTR:GUS) revealed that Tto1 actually contains cis-regulatory regions in response to wounding and methyl jasmonate. These findings are discussed in relation to the mechanism of transcriptional activation and the evolutionary role played by retrotransposons.
