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

Rosa species hold considerable economic and medicinal importance, used in traditional medicine, essential oils, and landscaping. However, the mechanisms of floral scent formation in roses are not well understood, hindering genetic improvement. To bridge this gap, we conducted a combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis, identifying nine key fragrance compounds. Using Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we linked 574 genes to these compounds. From these, we identified candidate genes through differential expression, functional annotations, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. We predicted candidate genes, NUDIX1, NUDIX2, GERD, AFS1, AFS2, CYP82G1, HMG1, NCED2, CCD7, PSY, ICMEL2, MAD1, and MAD2 that might terpenoid-related genes, as well as potential benzenoid/phenylpropanoid-related candidate genes, DET2, DET3, ICS2, PAL1, UGT74B1, MYB330, GST, CAD1, HST, PCBER1, LAC15, CSE, PER25, PER47, PER63, FBA, LNK2, PRE1, and PRE6. Additionally, three function-unknown genes, LOC112167529, LOC112174760, and LOC112183447, were predicted as candidate genes potentially involved in the formation of floral scent.
