The evolution, variation and expression patterns of the annexin gene family in the maize pan-genome.

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.
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
Annexins (Anns) are a family of evolutionarily conserved, calcium-dependent, phospholipid-binding proteins that play critical roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Utilizing the pan-genome of 26 high-quality maize genomes, we identified 12 Ann genes, comprising 9 core genes (present in all 26 lines) and 3 near-core genes (present in 24-25 lines). This highlights the limitations of studying ZmAnn genes based on a single reference genome. Evaluating the Ka/Ks values of Ann genes in 26 varieties revealed that ZmAnn10 was under positive selection in certain varieties, while the remaining genes had Ka/Ks values less than 1, indicating purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis divided ZmAnn proteins into six groups, with group VI containing only ZmAnn12. Structural variation in certain varieties altered the conserved domains, generating many atypical genes. Transcriptome analysis showed that different Ann members have distinct expression patterns in various tissues and under different abiotic and biotic stress treatments. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis of transcriptome data from various maize tissues under cold stress identified four Ann genes (ZmAnn2, ZmAnn6, ZmAnn7, ZmAnn9) involved in co-expression modules. Overall, this study utilized high-quality maize pangenomes to perform a bioinformatic analysis of ZmAnn genes, providing a foundation for further research on ZmAnn genes.
