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

This study comprehensively reveals the origin and evolution mechanisms of ascorbic acid (AsA) synthesis and breakdown pathways during plants' transition from water to land. By analyzing genomic data from 21 key plant species and transcriptomic data from the One Thousand Plants transcription project, we found that the L-galactose pathway emerged in green algae, with variations in the HIT domain of the rate-limiting enzyme GGP driving adaptive divergence between lower and higher plants. The galacturonic acid pathway integrated with the L-galactose pathway through the emergence of GalUR in bryophytes. The
