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

key messageRice OsSPL11 activates the expression of GW5L through binding to its promoter and positively regulates grain size. Grain size (GS) is an important determinant of grain weight and yield potential in cereal. Here, we report the functional analysis of OsSPL11 in grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and 1000-grain weight (TGW). OsSPL11 mutant plants, osspl11 lines, exhibited a decrease in GL, GW, and TGW, and OsSPL11-OE lines showed an increase in GL and TGW. Expression analysis revealed that OsSPL11 was located in the nucleus and highly expressed in spikelet hull and young development grains, consistent with its function in determining GS. Further analysis confirmed that OsSPL11 directly activates the expression of GW5L to regulate GS, meanwhile OsSPL11 expression is negatively regulated by OsGBP3. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that OsSPL11 could be a key regulator of affecting GS during the spikelet hull development and facilitate the process of improving grain yield by GS modification in rice.
