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

GIGANTEA (GI) is a plant-specific protein that functions in many physiological processes and signalling networks. In Arabidopsis, GI has a central role in circadian oscillators regulating the abundance of ZEITLUPE and TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 proteins and is essential for photoperiodic regulation of flowering. We have investigated how ortholgues of this component of Arabidopsis circadian oscillators contribute to circadian rhythms and yield traits, including heading (flowering) in wheat. We find that GI is a core component of wheat circadian oscillators that is necessary to maintain robust oscillations in chlorophyll fluorescence and circadian oscillator transcript abundance. The predicted lack of functional GI results in later flowering of wheat in both long days and short days in controlled environment conditions. Our results support and extend previous work, which suggests that the pathways by which photoperiodism regulates flowering are not fully conserved between Arabidopsis and wheat. Understanding the molecular basis for photoperiodism in wheat is important for breeders looking to manipulate flowering time and develop new elite, high-yielding cultivars.
