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

Seed dormancy is crucial for optimal plant life-cycle timing. However, domestication has largely diminished seed dormancy in modern cereal cultivars, leading to challenges such as preharvest sprouting (PHS) and subsequent declines in yield and quality. Therefore, it is imperative to unravel the molecular mechanisms governing seed dormancy for the development of PHS-resistant varieties. In this study, we screened a mutant of BASIC HELIX-LOOP-HELIX TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR4 (OsbHLH004) with decreased seed dormancy and revealed that OsbHLH004 directly regulates the expression of 9-CIS-EPOXYCAROTENOID DIOXYGENASE3 (OsNCED3) and GIBBERELLIN 2-OXIDASE6 (OsGA2ox6) in rice (Oryza sativa). Additionally, we determined that two phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins, MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 and 2 (OsMFT1 and OsMFT2; hereafter OsMFT1/2) interact with OsbHLH004 and Ideal Plant Architecture 1 (IPA1) to regulate their binding capacities on OsNCED3 and OsGA2ox6, thereby promoting seed dormancy. Intriguingly, FT-INTERACTING PROTEIN1 (OsFTIP1) interacts with OsMFT1/2 and affects their nucleocytoplasmic translocation into the nucleus, where OsMFT1/2-OsbHLH004 and OsMFT1/2-IPA1 antagonistically modulate the expression of OsNCED3 and OsGA2ox6. Our findings reveal that OsFTIP1-mediated inhibition of nuclear translocation of OsMFT1/2 and the dynamic transcriptional modulation of OsNCED3 and OsGA2ox6 by OsMFT1/2-OsbHLH004 and OsMFT1/2-IPA1 complexes in seed dormancy in rice.
