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

The reproductive success of flowering plants relies greatly on precise timing of the floral transition, which is finely modulated by a complex network of floral regulators. As a main floral integrator, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is also an essential constituent of the florigen that is transported from leaves to shoot apices to induce flowering. FT is specifically transcribed in leaf vascular tissues, where its production is suppressed by many flowering repressors, including the MYB transcription factor EARLY FLOWERING MYB PROTEIN (EFM). Here, we show that a plant CTD phosphatase, C-TERMINAL DOMAIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE 2 (CPL2), suppresses FT expression in leaf vascular tissues by modulating the binding activity of EFM. CPL2 interacts with and dephosphorylates EFM to facilitate the binding of dephosphorylated EFM to FT chromatin, thereby inhibiting flowering. Our results suggest that CPL2-mediated dephosphorylation of the floral repressor EFM serves as a molecular switch, adding another layer of regulation to fine-tune FT transcription and ensure that flowering occurs at an appropriate time.
