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

Background: Cold stress during the booting stage severely reduces rice yield by impairing pollen development and seed-setting rates. To uncover the molecular basis of cold tolerance, we analyzed phenotypic and transcriptomic data from 14 japonica rice varieties under cold stress, combined with WGCNA. Results: The results demonstrated that cold stress significantly decreased yield traits, particularly seed-setting rate-a reliable cold tolerance indicator. Transcriptome analysis identified 6,240 and 7,996 DEGs in cold-tolerant and cold-sensitive varieties, respectively, with 1,875 core genes enriched in key pathways like plant hormone signaling and MAPK cascades. Conclusion: WGCNA analysis identified a seed-setting rate-associated blue module, which contained 10 highly connected candidate genes and 20 core transcription factors potentially involved in cold tolerance. This study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of cold tolerance in rice and offers valuable targets for molecular breeding of cold-resistant cultivars.
