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

Empirical breeding efforts targeting cold tolerance and ideal plant architecture have significantly improved yield and facilitated the geographic expansion of japonica rice cultivation. However, the genetic drivers and underlying molecular mechanisms of these traits remain insufficiently understood. Here, we identify Plant Height 8 (PH8) as a key gene regulating both plant stature and cold stress response in rice. Genome wide association analysis (GWAS), supported by functional validation, shows that loss of PH8 reduces plant height without affecting other agronomic traits. Notably, we found that PH8 also negatively regulates cold tolerance. A prevalent haplotype, PH8
