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

Panicle exsertion is essential for crop yield and quality, and understanding its molecular mechanisms is crucial for optimizing plant architecture. In this study, the sheathed panicle-I (shp-I) mutant was identified from the ethyl methane sulfonate mutant population of the sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] variety Hongyingzi (HYZ). While phenotypically similar to the wild type during the seedling stage, shp-I exhibits a significantly shorter peduncle internode at the heading stage. Cytomorphological analysis revealed reduced parenchyma cell size within the mutant's peduncle internode. Phytohormonal profiling showed lower levels of indole-3-acetic acid and higher concentrations of brassinosteroid in the mutant compared to the wild type at the peduncle internode. Genetic analysis confirmed that the mutant phenotype was caused by a recessive single-gene mutation. Through bulked segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) genetic mapping, the causative locus for the mutant phenotype was localized to a 59.65-59.92 Mb interval on chromosome 10, which contains 28 putative genes. Additionally, the gene SbiHYZ.10G230700, which encodes a BTB/POZ and MATH (BPM) domain protein, was identified as a candidate gene. Further analysis revealed that the non-synonymous mutations in the candidate gene were located within the MATH domain, affecting the 3D structure of the protein. In summary, this study provides a new genetic material and candidate genes for future research into the molecular regulation of sorghum peduncle length.
