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 an important adaptive trait in plants. Proper seed dormancy enables the avoidance of preharvest sprouting in the undesirable conditions like rainfall frequently. In this study, qPSR8, a major QTL for preharvest sprouting, was isolated, and a previously reported heading-date gene, CCT30, was verified as the candidate gene. The CCT30 knockout mutants (CCT30-CR) enhanced seed dormancy and ABA sensitivity as compared with the wild-type ZH11. Conversely, CCT30 overexpressing plants had opposite phenotype changes and had a decreased ABA content. The expression of ABA synthesis genes such as OsNCEDs and ABA signalling genes such as ABI3 and ABI5 were upregulated and sugar metabolism-related genes such as amylase genes were downregulated in CCT30-CR. Correspondingly, fewer free sugars, such as monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, accumulated in CCT30-CR. The freshly harvested seeds from CCT30-CR had no ability to transmit sugar signals when treated with 1% exogenous glucose. In addition, CCT30 interacted with the transcription factor OsbZIP37, which negatively regulates seed dormancy. Overall, CCT30 promotes preharvest sprouting by enhancing sugar signals that inhibit the ABA-mediated pathway, and CCT30 is a good gene for breeding rice varieties resistant to preharvest sprouting.
