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

The root is one of the most important organs that determines the final grain yield in rice. Auxin is essential for root development in plants. Rice auxin response factor7 (OsARF7), belonging to the ARF family, is a key regulator of root development. Here, we show that OsARF7 positively regulates root development via auxin signaling. The osarf7 mutants display a significant decrease in the root number, adventitious root (AR) number and length, and primary root (PR) length, compared with the wild-type. Exogenous NAA treatment significantly suppresses PR length in osarf7 mutants, OsARF7-OE lines, and its wild-type, does not affect the root number of osarf7 mutants, but suppresses the biomass of osarf7 mutants. At the molecular level, OsARF7 is preferentially expressed in the culm, root, and leaf, especially highly expressed in the tips of the PR, AR, root pericycle, and lateral root (LR) primordia; meanwhile, OsARF7 expression is significantly enhanced by exogenous NAA treatment, suggesting that the positive regulatory role of OsARF7 on root development is based on auxin signaling. A series of biochemical and genetic analyses demonstrate that OsARF7 functions upstream of OsCRL1 and acts downstream of OsMADS25 to regulate root development via auxin signaling. To conclude, OsARF7 is a key positive regulatory factor that regulates root development by activating the expression of OsCRL1 via auxin signaling, by which, OsMADS25 positively mediates OsARF7 expression in rice. This work provides valuable insight into the regulatory mechanism controlling root development and a genetic resource for the molecular improvement of root architecture.
