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

Ornamental plants can generate higher economic value per unit area compared with traditional crops. Enhancing market share in the flower industry relies on cultivating varieties with exceptional ornamental traits. Petal size, a critical factor influencing flower shape and ornamental appeal, is a primary focus for horticultural breeding selection. In this article, we review recent advances in understanding the regulation of petal size in ornamental plants through analyzing various patterns of cell division and expansion underlying petal growth and the genes involved in the related regulatory paradigms. We further highlight the intricate network of petal size control affected by multiple phytohormones and discuss several open questions and strategies for breeding ornamental plants with desired petal size traits based on current findings.
