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

Introduction: Peanuts ( Methods: In this study, we employed nitrogen-efficient (Puhua 66, Huayu 20) and nitrogen-inefficient (Puhua 28, Shanhua 14) peanut varieties in a two-year field experiment using a split-plot design. The main plots comprised two treatments: standard fertilization (CK) and calcium supplementation (Ca), while the sub-plots consisted of different peanut varieties. We analyzed growth parameters, physiological responses, and transcriptomic profiles. Results: Our results demonstrated that calcium application significantly increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in leaves while reducing peroxidase (POD) activity, enhancing pod dry matter accumulation, and promoting earlier plant maturation. Additionally, calcium application elevated the activities of nitrate reductase (NR) and glutamine synthetase (GS) (P < 0.01), thereby improving nitrogen and calcium accumulation in pods, their allocation efficiency, and the overall utilization rates of nitrogen and calcium fertilizers. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 166 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in nitrogen-efficient varieties and 343 DEGs in nitrogen-inefficient varieties under calcium supplementation, with 67 DEGs shared between the two groups. Functional annotation and qRT-PCR validation were performed on these DEGs.Furthermore, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) indicated that calcium supplementation significantly up-regulated genes associated with sucrose synthase, β-amylase, GTPase-activating proteins, light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complexes ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that calcium application modulates carbohydrate metabolism, nitrogen assimilation, plant-pathogen interactions, and photosynthetic processes through differential gene expression, ultimately enhancing leaf physiological activity, dry matter partitioning, pod yield, and early maturation in peanuts.
