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

Grain shape and tiller angle are two important agronomic traits influencing grain yield and quality in rice. Herein, we map-based cloned a grain shape gene GLW9 (Grain Length and Width on chromosome 9), which encodes a DNA binding with one finger (DOF) family transcription factor OsDOF25. GLW9 positively regulates grain length and negatively regulates grain width, consequently improving grain length-to-width ratio and appearance quality. GLW9 binds to the EXPA6 promotor to upregulate its expression, thereby positively regulating cell expansion and grain shape. On the other hand, GLW9 directly upregulates the expression of OsPIN1b to reduce tiller angle. This study elucidates the mechanism by which GLW9 coordinately regulates grain shape and tiller angle, providing theoretical reference and gene resources for the improvement of grain shape and tiller angle in rice.
