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

Light regulates plant growth and development via multiple photoreceptors including phytochromes and cryptochromes. Although the functions of photoreceptors have been studied extensively, questions remain regarding the involvement of cryptochromes in photomorphogenesis. In this study, we identified a protein, TEOSINTE-LIKE1, CYCLOIDEA, and PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR 2 (TCP2), which interacts with the cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) protein in yeast and plant cells via the N-terminal domains of both proteins. Transgenic plants overexpressing TCP2 displayed a light-dependent short hypocotyl phenotype, especially in response to blue light. Moreover, light affected TCP2 expression in a wavelength-dependent manner and TCP2 positively regulates mRNA expression of HYH and HY5. These results support the hypothesis that TCP2 is a transcription activator which acts downstream of multiple photoreceptors, including CRY1.
