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

key messageThe review summarizes the functions of the plant special transcription factors CCT family genes in multiple traits and discusses the molecular breeding strategies with CCT family genes in the future. Plants integrate circadian clock and external signals such as temperature and photoperiod to synchronize flowering with seasonal environmental changes. This process makes cereal crops including short-day crops, such as rice and maize, and long-day crops, such as wheat and barley, better adapt to varied growth zones from temperate to tropical regions. CCT family genes involve circadian clock and photoperiodic flowering pathways and help plants set a suitable flowering time to produce offspring. Beyond the flowering time, CCT family genes in cereal crops are associated with biomass and grain yield. Moreover, recent studies showed that they also associate with photosynthesis, nutrition use efficiency and stress tolerance. Here, we systematically review the progress in functional characterization of CCT family genes in flowering, geographical adaptation and grain yield formation, raise the core questions related to their molecular mechanisms and discuss how to practice them in genetic improvement in cereal crops by combining gene diagnosis and top-level design.
