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

The Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology ('the BAR', at https://bar.utoronto.ca) is celebrating its 20th year in operation in 2025. The BAR encompasses and provides visualization tools for large 'omics data sets from plants. The BAR covers data from Arabidopsis, tomato, wheat, barley and 29 other plant species (with data for 2 others to be released soon). These data include nucleotide and protein sequence data, gene expression data, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, protein structures, subcellular localizations, and polymorphisms. The data are stored in more than 200 relational databases holding 186 GB of data and are presented to the researchers via web apps. These web apps provide data analysis and visualization tools. Some of the most popular tools are eFP ('electronic fluorescent pictograph') Browsers, ePlants and ThaleMine (an Arabidopsis-specific instance of InterMine). The BAR was designated a Global Core Biodata Resource in 2023. Like other GCBRs, the BAR has excellent operational stability, provides access without login requirement, and provides an API for researchers to be able to access BAR data programmatically. We present in this update a new overarching search tool called Gaia that permits easy access to all BAR data, powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence.
