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

Leaf morphogenesis is a crucial process in plants that governs essential physiological functions such as photosynthesis and transpiration. Despite significant advances in understanding leaf development, the mechanism of intricate cellular patterning remains elusive. We characterize the OsLC1 mutant, which displays a curly leaf phenotype alongside reductions in plant height and tiller number, which are indicative of multiple morphological abnormalities. Through map-based cloning, we identified OsLC1 as encoding a transaldolase (TA) protein, whose genetic variations in OsLC1 lead to the disruptions of cell patterning across the vasculature, bundle sheath cells, mesophyll, stomata, bulliform cells and sclerenchyma cells. OsLC1 exhibited TA activity and modulated metabolic flux to the shikimic pathway, thereby affecting phenylpropanoid metabolism. This regulation influenced lignin and flavonoid biosynthesis, ultimately modulating cellular pattern formation through perturbations to flavonoid-mediated auxin or lignin homeostasis. Notably, loss of OsLC1 function led to a reduction in leaf water status, which, along with abnormal cellular patterns in oslc1, caused leaf curling. Overall, our findings provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying cell patterning in the leaf and offer valuable perspectives on leaf morphogenesis in rice.
