Slow and steady wins the race: the negative regulators of ethylene biosynthesis in horticultural plants.
Article in Horticulture research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 gaseous hormone ethylene controls a variety of physiological processes in horticultural plants, including fruit ripening and elongation, flower development and senescence, and responses to stresses. The functions of ethylene in these processes are intimately linked to its precise biosynthesis, which is finely tuned by a complex network of positive and negative regulators. While significant progress has been made in understanding the roles of positive regulators in ethylene biosynthesis, the negative regulators of ethylene biosynthesis has only recently begun to receive more focus. Ethylene biosynthesis is a simple two-step reaction in land plants, committed by two dedicated enzymes, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO). Over the past decade, a growing number of research has identified a wide range of transcriptional, posttranscriptional and epigenetic negative regulators for ACS and/or ACO in horticultural plants, greatly enhancing our understanding of the intricate network that modulates ethylene production. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the negative regulators that mediate ethylene biosynthesis in horticultural plants, with respect to their functions and molecular mechanisms, and their responses to external environmental stimuli or internal growth signals.
