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

The leaf angle (LA) is a critical component of plant architecture that directly influences photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield. In the present study, we found that ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 101 (OsERF101), an APETALA2/ethylene response factor, plays a role in LA formation. A null mutation in OsERF101 resulted in reduced LA, whereas transgenic plants overexpressing OsERF101 (OsERF101-OEs) exhibited increased LA. OsERF101 increased the development of the adaxial lamina joint (LJ). Transactivation assays and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis indicated that OsERF101 activated BRASSINOSTEROID UPREGULATED 1 (OsBU1) transcription by directly binding to its promoter. However, OsERF101 expression was suppressed by exogenous brassinosteroid (BR) treatment and elevated endogenous brassinolide (BL) levels during LJ development. Additionally, OsERF101 downregulated the expression of BR biosynthesis genes, including Brassinosteroid-deficient dwarf2 (OsBRD2) and CYP90B2/OsDWARF4, leading to reduced levels of endogenous BL, the most active BR, in OsERF101-OEs. These findings suggested that OsERF101 mediates a negative feedback loop that balances endogenous BR levels and signaling. Collectively, rice plants have evolved diverse regulatory mechanisms involving OsERF101 to tune LA formation and optimize plant architecture finely.
