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

MAIN

conclusionDe novo root regeneration (DNRR) involves activation of special cells after wounding, along with the converter cells, reactive oxygen species, ethylene, and jasmonic acid, also playing key roles. An updated DNRR model is presented here with gene regulatory networks. Root formation after tissue injury is a type of plant regeneration known as de novo root regeneration (DNRR). DNRR system has wide applications in agriculture and tissue culture biotechnology. This review summarizes the recent advancements in the DNRR model for the cellular and molecular framework, targeting leaf explant of Arabidopsis and highlighting differences among direct and indirect pathways. Key findings highlight the presence of special cells in leaf explants after wounding, under different time lapses, through single-cell sequencing of the transcriptional landscape. The possible roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS), ethylene, and jasmonic acid are explored in the early establishment of wounding signals (short/long) for auxin biosynthesis, ultimately leading to adventitious root formation. The synergistic manner of 3rd type of special cells along converter and regeneration-competent cells automatically leads towards cell fate transition for auxin flux in regeneration-competent cells. The signaling mechanisms of these suggested special cells need to be further investigated to understand the DNRR mechanistic story entirely, in addition to root-to-root regeneration and stem-to-root regeneration. Meta-analysis of DNRR is also presented for past and future reference.
