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

Transposable elements (TEs) introduce genetic and epigenetic variability, contributing to gene expression patterns that drive adaptive evolution in plants. Here, we investigate TE architecture and its effect on cold tolerance in rice. By analyzing a pangenome graph and the resequencing data of 165 rice accessions, we identify 30,316 transposable element insertion polymorphism (TIP) sites, highlighting significant diversity among polymorphic TEs (pTEs). We observe that pTEs exhibit increased H3K27me3 enrichment, suggesting a potential role in epigenetic differentiation under cold stress and in the transcriptional regulation of the cold response. We identify 26,914 TEs responsive to cold stress from transcriptome data, indicating their potential significance in regulatory networks for this response. Our TIP-GWAS analysis reveal two cold tolerance genes OsCACT and OsPTR. The biological functions of these genes are confirmed using knockout and overexpression lines. Our web tool ( https://cbi.gxu.edu.cn/RICEPTEDB/ ) makes all pTEs available to researchers for further analysis. These findings provide valuable targets for breeding cold-tolerant rice varieties, indicating the potential importance of pTEs in crop enhancement.
