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

introductionCircadian clocks coordinate internal physiology and external environmental factors to regulate cereals flowering, which is critical for reproductive growth and optimal yield determination.

objectivesIn this study, we aimed to confirm the role of OsLUX in flowering time regulation in rice. Further research illustrates how the OsELF4s-OsELF3-1-OsLUX complex directly regulates flowering-related genes to mediate rice heading.

methodsWe identified a circadian gene OsLUX by the MutMap method. The transcription levels of flowering-related genes were evaluated in WT and oslux mutants. OsLUX forms OsEC (OsELF4s-OsELF3-1-OsLUX) complex were supported by yeast two-hybrid, pull down, BiFC, and luciferase complementation assays (LCA). The EMSA, Chip-qPCR, luciferase luminescence images, and relative LUC activity assays were performed to examine the targeted regulation of flowering genes by the OsEC (OsELF4s-OsELF3-1-OsLUX) complex.

resultsThe circadian gene OsLUX encodes an MYB family transcription factor that functions as a vital circadian clock regulator and controls rice heading. Defect in OsLUX causes an extremely late heading phenotype under natural long-day and short-day conditions, and the function was further confirmed through genetic complementation, overexpression, and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout. OsLUX forms the OsEC (OsELF4s-OsELF3-1-OsLUX) complex by recruiting OsELF3-1 and OsELF4s, which were required to regulate rice heading. OsELF3-1 contributes to the translocation of OsLUX to the nucleus, and a compromised flowering phenotype results upon mutation of any component of the OsEC complex. The OsEC complex directly represses Hd1 and Ghd7 expression via binding to their promoter's LBS (LUX binding site) element.

conclusionOur findings show that the circadian gene OsLUX regulates rice heading by directly regulating rhythm oscillation and core flowering-time-related genes. We uncovered a mechanism by which the OsEC target suppresses the expression of Hd1 and Ghd7 directly to modulate photoperiodic flowering in rice. The OsEC (OsELF4s-OsELF3-1-OsLUX)-Hd1/Ghd7 regulatory module provides the genetic targets for crop improvement.
