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

Plant architecture is an agronomically important trait affecting grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Here, we identified a gene, Moderate-tillering and Semi-dwarf 1 (MTS1), which encodes a type II Inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5PTase). Compared to the wild type, the mts1 mutant exhibited a significant reduction in plant height and an increase in effective tiller number. Further analysis showed that the mutation in MTS1 impairs the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], resulting in its aberrant accumulation and subsequent suppression of actin polymerization. Notably, the mutation in MTS1 specifically affects the response to gibberellin at the reproductive growth stage. Both lipid-protein overlay assay and microscale thermophoresis assay demonstrated that phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) interacts with NGR5. PI4P promotes NGR5 degradation, thereby modulating plant architecture. Investigation of yield-related traits showed that the mts1 mutant has a similar grain yield per plant to the wild type due to the compensation effect of increasing effective tiller number. These findings suggest that phosphoinositide metabolism plays a critical role in modulating plant architecture in rice and the favourable allele of MTS1 has potential application value in rice dwarf breeding.
