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

Camellia oleifera, a vital woody oil crop in China, suffers substantial yield losses due to frequent physiological fruit abscission during cultivation. Ethylene signaling, mediated by Ethylene-Insensitive3/Ethylene-Insensitive 3-like (EIN3/EIL) transcription factors encoded by a multigene family, plays a pivotal role in plant organ abscission. However, the EIN3/EIL family remains understudied in C. oleifera. Here, genome-wide analysis identified four CoEIL genes encoding proteins with conserved EIN3 domains. Phylogenetic classification grouped these proteins into Group A and Group B, revealing evolutionary proximity between C. oleifera and tea (Camellia sinensis). Cis-acting regulatory element analysis implicated CoEIL genes in hormone responsiveness and stress adaptation. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was performed to investigate the expression patterns of these CoEIL genes in the fruit abscission zone following ethephon and brassinolide treatments. This study elucidates the genetic architecture and functional divergence of CoEIL genes, laying the foundation for exploring molecular mechanisms of abscission in C. oleifera.
