Biosynthesis of gibberellin-related compounds modulates far-red light responses in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha.
Article in The Plant cell, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
Gibberellins (GAs) are key phytohormones that regulate growth, development, and environmental responses in angiosperms. From an evolutionary perspective, all major steps of GA biosynthesis are conserved among vascular plants, while GA biosynthesis intermediates such as ent-kaurenoic acid (KA) are also produced by bryophytes. Here, we show that in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, KA and GA12 are synthesized by evolutionarily conserved enzymes, which are required for developmental responses to far-red light (FR). Under FR-enriched conditions, mutants of various biosynthesis enzymes consistently exhibited altered thallus growth allometry, delayed initiation of gametogenesis, and abnormal morphology of gamete-bearing structures (gametangiophores). By chemical treatments and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses, we confirmed that these phenotypes were caused by the deficiency of some GA-related compounds derived from KA, but not bioactive GAs from vascular plants. Transcriptome analysis showed that FR enrichment induced the up-regulation of genes related to stress responses and secondary metabolism in M. polymorpha, which was largely dependent on the biosynthesis of GA-related compounds. Due to the lack of canonical GA receptors in bryophytes, we hypothesize that GA-related compounds are commonly synthesized in land plants but were co-opted independently to regulate responses to light quality change in different plant lineages during the past 450 million years of evolution.
