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
backgroundAcyl-CoA oxidase (ACX), a ubiquitous eukaryotic enzyme, catalyzes the initial steps of fatty acid β oxidation and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA). At present, no studies have been reported on ACX family members of maize and their function in disease resistance.
objectivesThis study aims to lay a foundation for clarifying the functions of ACX family genes in maize growth, development, and stress response by conducting a genome-wide identification of ACX family genes in maize, analyzing the expression characteristics of these genes in maize growth and development, hormone treatment and response to biotic and abiotic stresses, and exploring the functions of key genes in the maize disease resistance process through the use of mutants.
methodsProtParam, TBtools, MEME, MEGA, and IBS tools were used to identify maize ACX family genes and analyze the physicochemical properties of their proteins, chromosome location, phylogenetic relationships among family members, conserved domains, conserved motifs, and cis-acting elements. Meanwhile, the expression patterns of maize ACX family genes in different tissues and their expression patterns under abiotic and biotic stresses were studied by using the data from the maize GDB database and qRT-PCR technology. Moreover, the mutants of
resultsWe discovered that six ACX genes in the maize genome are distributed across four different chromosomes. Cluster analysis further classified these genes into three subfamilies. All maize ACX genes possess a conserved ACOX domain, and their promoter regions are enriched with cis-acting elements associated with heat stress and the plant hormone response. Under various tissue, biotic, and abiotic stress conditions, as well as treatments with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and salicylic acid (SA), the expression levels of maize ACX family genes exhibited significant differences. Notably, the expression levels of
conclusionsIn summary, this study systematically identified maize ACX family genes, and thoroughly investigated their expression patterns and functions in maize disease resistance. Our findings provide valuable insights into the comprehensive understanding of the function and mechanism of maize ACX family genes.
