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, a complex trait that is influenced by both nuclear and cytoplasmic factors, poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity. Conventional dormancy-breaking techniques, including mechanical, physiological, and chemical methods, often yield inconsistent results, impair seed quality, and lack precision. This has necessitated exploration of more targeted and efficient approaches. CRISPR-based gene editing has emerged as a promising tool for the precise regulation of seed dormancy without compromising seed viability or sustainability. Although CRISPR has been successfully applied to modify genes that govern physiological traits in various crops, its use in dormancy regulation remains in the early stages. This review examines recent advancements in CRISPR-based approaches for modulating seed dormancy and discusses key gene targets, modification techniques, and the resulting effects. We also consider the future potential of CRISPR to enhance dormancy control across diverse crop species.
