A non-canonical BZR/BES transcription factor regulates the development of haploid reproductive organs in Marchantia polymorpha.
Article in Nature plants, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Gametogenesis, which is essential to the sexual reproductive system, has drastically changed during plant evolution. Bryophytes, lycophytes and ferns develop reproductive organs called gametangia-antheridia and archegonia for sperm and egg production, respectively. However, the molecular mechanism of early gametangium development remains unclear. Here we identified a 'non-canonical' type of BZR/BES transcription factor, MpBZR3, as a regulator of gametangium development in a model bryophyte, Marchantia polymorpha. Interestingly, overexpression of MpBZR3 induced ectopic gametangia. Genetic analysis revealed that MpBZR3 promotes the early phase of antheridium development in male plants. By contrast, MpBZR3 is required for the late phase of archegonium development in female plants. We demonstrate that MpBZR3 is necessary for the successful development of both antheridia and archegonia but functions in a different manner between the two sexes. Together, the functional specialization of this 'non-canonical' type of BZR/BES member may have contributed to the evolution of reproductive systems.
