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

Banana (Musa spp.) fruits, as typical tropical fruits, are cold sensitive, and lower temperatures can disrupt cellular compartmentalization and lead to severe browning. How tropical fruits respond to low temperature compared to the cold response mechanisms of model plants remains unknown. Here, we systematically characterized the changes in chromatin accessibility, histone modifications, distal cis-regulatory elements, transcription factor binding, and gene expression levels in banana peels in response to low temperature. Dynamic patterns of cold-induced transcripts were generally accompanied by concordant chromatin accessibility and histone modification changes. These upregulated genes were enriched for WRKY binding sites in their promoters and/or active enhancers. Compared to banana peel at room temperature, large amounts of banana WRKYs were specifically induced by cold and mediated enhancer-promoter interactions regulating critical browning pathways, including phospholipid degradation, oxidation, and cold tolerance. This hypothesis was supported by DNA affinity purification sequencing, luciferase reporter assays, and transient expression assay. Together, our findings highlight widespread transcriptional reprogramming via WRKYs during banana peel browning at low temperature and provide an extensive resource for studying gene regulation in tropical plants in response to cold stress, as well as potential targets for improving cold tolerance and shelf life of tropical fruits.
