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

background'Tuershao' is a new chayote (Sechium edule) variety whose tuberous roots and tender shoots are edible. These parts are rich in beneficial substances, including amino acids, proteins, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, cucurbitacin, and selenium, demonstrating their unique value. However, its ovary cannot develop into a mature fruit, and cutting techniques help to achieve the breeding of 'Tuershao'.

resultsThis study found that using peat soil as the substrate and treating semi-hard branches with 1.0 g·L⁻¹ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) achieved the highest rooting rate of 94.33%, with the maximum values in root length, root surface area, root volume, and root diameter. Additionally, exogenous hormone treatment led to greater fluctuations in the contents of soluble sugar, starch, and soluble protein in 'Tuershao'. The activities of catalase (CAT), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also enhanced. The contents of endogenous hormones such as auxin (IAA), cytokinin (CTK), and gibberellin A

conclusionsTreating semi-hard branches with 1.0 g·L⁻¹ IBA on peat soil shows the best effect in promoting rooting of 'Tuershao' cuttings. Exogenous IBA can promote nutrient metabolism, enhance antioxidant enzyme activities, and regulate endogenous hormone levels in 'Tuershao' cuttings, thereby further promoting rooting.
