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

Temperature is a critical environmental factor affecting nearly all plant processes, including growth, development, and yield. Yet, despite decades of research, we lack the ability to predict plant performance at different temperatures, limiting the development of climate-resilient crops. Further, there is a pressing need to bridge the gap between the prediction of physiological and molecular traits to improve our understanding and manipulation of plant temperature responses. Here, we developed the first enzyme-constrained model of Arabidopsis thaliana's metabolism, facilitating predictions of growth-related phenotypes at different temperatures. We showed that the model can be employed for in silico identification of genes that affect plant growth at suboptimal growth temperature. Using mutant lines, we validated the genes predicted to affect plant growth, demonstrating the potential of metabolic modeling in accurately predicting plant thermal responses. The temperature-dependent enzyme-constrained metabolic model provides a template that can be used for developing sophisticated strategies to engineer climate-resilient crops.
