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

Plants have evolved complex terpene defenses. Terpenoids accumulate in plant tissues or release as volatile in response to ever-changing environment, playing essential roles in chemo-ecological functions as defense against pathogen and insect, improving pollination and seed dispersal, facilitation plant-to-plant communication. They are also gaining attention in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, fragrance, and biofuels. Here, we highlight the recent progress in the fundamental pathways of terpenoid biosynthesis, key enzymes, and their corresponding genes involved in terpenoid synthesis. We identified the further exploration of biosynthetic networks and the development of novel terpenoid resources, proposed the need for further exploration of biosynthetic networks and the development of novel terpenoid resources. Based on that knowledge, future research should be directed towards the mechanisms governing terpenoid biosynthesis dependent environmental change and molecular breeding.
