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

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a chilling-sensitive staple crop originating from tropical and subtropical Asia, can be cultivated in temperate regions through the introduction of chilling tolerance traits. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this adaptation remain largely unknown. Herein, we show that HAN2, a quantitative trait locus, confers chilling tolerance in temperate japonica rice. HAN2 encodes an auxin efflux transporter (OsABCB5) and negatively regulates chilling tolerance, potentially via auxin-mediated signaling pathway. During rice domestication, HAN2 has undergone selective divergence between the indica and temperate japonica subspecies. In temperate japonica rice, the insertion of a Copia long terminal repeat retrotransposon downstream of HAN2 reduces its expression, thereby enhancing chilling tolerance and facilitating adaptation to temperate climates. Introgression of the temperate japonica HAN2 allele into indica rice significantly improves chilling tolerance at both seedling and booting stages. These findings advance our understanding of rice northward expansion and provide a valuable genetic resource for improving yield stability under chilling stress.
