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

Sugars are essential for plant development, with nitrogen (N) availability playing a critical role in their distribution across plant organs, ultimately shaping growth patterns. However, the regulatory mechanisms modulating carbon (C) assimilate allocation and utilization under different N forms are not well understood. This study examined C fixation, utilization, and spatial re-distribution in the roots of hydroponically grown maize seedlings subjected to four N treatments: 1 mM NO Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-025-01631-0.
