Genome-wide identification, characterization and expression analysis of the chalcone synthase gene family in Chinese cabbage.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundChalcone synthase (CHS) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in the flavonoid synthesis pathway. Flavonoids are crucial secondary metabolites that play significant roles in plant growth, development, and stress resistance. The CHS gene (BrCHS) family in Chinese cabbage has not yet been studied.
resultsWe identified 10 BrCHS genes distributed across 7 chromosomes in the Chinese cabbage genome. Their encoded proteins all contain the Chal_Sti_Synt_C (PF02797) and Chal_Sti_Synt_N (PF00195) domains and can be classified into two groups based on systematic evolution analysis. These BrCHS genes contain 2-4 exons and numerous cis-acting elements responsive to light, hormones, stress, growth and development in the BrCHS gene promoters. We also revealed that the expression of BrCHS2 and BrCHS8 increased under treatment with methyl jasmonate, salt, or drought stress. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of BrCHS4 inhibited the expression of BrCHS4 and reduced the flavonoid and anthocyanin contents in leaves.
conclusionsTen BrCHS family genes are present in the genome of Chinese cabbage. These BrCHS genes seemingly maintained similar characteristics and functionalities during evolution. Our results demonstrated that BrCHS4 is involved in flavonoid and anthocyanin accumulation in Chinese cabbage and identified candidate genes for purple Chinese cabbage breeding.
