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

Fructokinases (FRKs) are pivotal enzymes involved in sugar metabolism and plant growth regulation. In this study, a total of 38 BnFRK genes were identified in the Brassica napus genome through a comprehensive genome-wide analysis. Phylogenetic classification divided these genes into four groups, with conserved motif and gene structure analyses indicating both functional conservation and divergence. Synteny and collinearity analyses revealed extensive gene duplication events, particularly within Group IV, suggesting lineage-specific expansion after polyploidization. Promoter cis-element analysis indicated that BnFRKs are potentially involved in hormone response and abiotic stress regulation. Transcriptome data and qRT-PCR validation demonstrated that several BnFRKs, especially BnFRK12, showed significant induction under salt, alkali, low nitrogen and osmotic stress conditions, highlighting their potential roles in stress adaptation. These findings provide a foundation for further functional characterization of BnFRK genes and their application in improving stress resilience in rapeseed.
