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

TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR 1 (TCP) transcription factors control multiple aspects of growth and development in various plant species. However, few genes were reported to be directly targeted and regulated by them through their specific binding sites, and then uncover their functions in plants. A consensus DNA-binding site motif of TCP2 was identified by random binding site selection (RBSS). DNA recognized by TCP2 contained the motif G(G/T)GGNCC(A/C), which showed high consistency with motifs bound by other TCP domain proteins. Consequently, this motif was regarded as the specific DNA-binding sites of TCP2. Circadian clock associated 1 (CCA1) and EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) were subsequently considered as potential target genes owing to the containing of the similar TCP2 binding sites or core binding sites GGNCC and found to be positively regulated by TCP2 via DNA binding. Phenotype analysis results showed that mutation and over-expression of TCP2 resulted in variations in leaf morphogenesis, especially the double or triple mutations of TCP2, 4 and 10. Mutations in TCPs caused late flowering. Finally, TCP2 was shown to influence hypocotyl elongation by mediating the jasmonate signaling pathway. Overall, these results provide a basis for future studies aimed at distinguishing the target genes of TCP2 and elucidating the important roles of TCP2 in plant growth and development.
