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

Angiosperms are prolific producers of structurally diverse terpenes, which are essential for plant defense responses, as well as the formation of floral scents, fruit flavors, and medicinal constituents. Terpene synthase genes (TPSs) play crucial roles in the biosynthesis of terpenes. This study specifically focuses on the catalytic products of 222 functionally characterized TPSs in 24 angiosperms, which mainly comprise monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and sesterterpene. Our systematic analysis of these TPSs uncovered a significant expansion of the angiosperm-specific TPS-a, b, and g subfamilies in comparison to the TPS-e/f and c subfamilies. The expanded subfamilies can be further partitioned into distinct branches, within which considerable functional innovation and diversification have been observed. Numerous TPSs exhibit bifunctional or even trifunctional activities
