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

Flowering is a dynamic and synchronized process, the timing of which is finely tuned by various environmental signals. A T-DNA insertion mutant in Arabidopsis HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN-RELATED (AtHSPR) exhibited late-flowering phenotypes under both long-day (LD) and short-day (SD) conditions compared to the wild-type, while over-expression of AtHSPR promoted flowering. Exogenous application of gibberellin (GA) partially rescued the late-flowering mutant phenotype under both LD and SD conditions, suggesting that AtHSPR is involved in GA biosynthesis and/or the GA signaling that promotes flowering. Under SD or low-light conditions, the Athspr mutant exhibited late flowering together with reduced pollen viability and seed set, defective phenotypes that were partially rescued by GA treatment. qRT-PCR assays confirmed that GA biosynthetic genes were down-regulated, that GA catabolic genes were up-regulated, and that the levels of bioactive GA and its intermediates were decreased in Athspr under both SD and low-light/LD, further suggesting that AtHSPR could be involved in the GA pathway under SD and low-light conditions. Furthermore, AtHSPR interacted in vitro with OFP1 and KNAT5, which are transcriptional repressors of GA20ox1 in GA biosynthesis. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that AtHSPR plays a positive role in GA- and light intensity-mediated regulation of flowering and seed set.
