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

Pollen hydration, germination, and tube growth are vital processes for the successful fertilization of flowering plants. These processes involve complex signaling pathways. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in apoplast involves signaling for the cell wall expansion during tube growth, however molecular regulators are less known. We identified pollen-specific receptor-like kinase (OsPRK) family genes from rice (Oryza sativa), which have conserved leucine-rich repeat (LRR) and kinase domains. To understand the function of these genes, we produced single and triple mutations for OsPRK1, OsPRK2, and OsPRK3 using the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) system. Among these mutants, triple knockout (KO) lines (osprk1/2/3) exhibited the male-sterile phenotype with normal vegetative growth and floret formation. Through cytological analysis, we confirmed that the reduced seed fertility was due to defects in pollen hydration and germination with low ROS accumulation. This defect of pollen germination was partially recovered by treatment with exogenous H
