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

Carotenoid biosynthesis is closely associated with abscisic acid (ABA) during the ripening process of non-climacteric fruits, but the regulatory mechanism that links ABA signaling to carotenoid metabolism remains largely unclear. Here, we identified two master regulators of ABA-mediated citrus fruit coloration, CsERF110 and CsERF53, which activate the expression of carotenoid metabolism genes (CsGGPPS, CsPSY, CsPDS, CsCRTISO, CsLCYB2, CsLCYE, CsHYD, CsZEP, and CsNCED2) to facilitate carotenoid accumulation. Further investigations showed that CsERF110 not only activates the expression of CsERF53 by binding to its promoter but also interacts with CsERF53 to form the transcriptional regulatory module CsERF110-CsERF53. We also discovered a positive feedback regulatory loop between the ABA signal and carotenoid metabolism regulated by the transcriptional regulatory module CsERF110-CsERF53. Our results reveal that the CsERF110-CsERF53 module responds to ABA signaling, thereby orchestrating citrus fruit coloration. Considering the importance of carotenoid content for citrus and many other carotenoid-rich crops, the revelation of molecular mechanisms that underlie ABA-mediated carotenoid biosynthesis in plants will facilitate the development of transgenic/gene-editing approaches, further contributing to improving the quality of citrus and other carotenoid-rich crops.
