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

Transcription factors (TFs) provide potentially powerful tools for plant metabolic engineering as they often control multiple genes in a metabolic pathway. However, selecting the best TF for a particular pathway has been challenging, and the selection often relies significantly on phylogenetic relationships. Here, we offer examples where evolutionary relationships have facilitated the selection of the suitable TFs, alongside situations where such relationships are misleading from the perspective of metabolic engineering. We argue that the evolutionary trajectory of a particular TF might be a better indicator than protein sequence homology alone in helping decide the best targets for plant metabolic engineering efforts. This article is part of the theme issue 'The evolution of plant metabolism'.
