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

Seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that enables plants to survive adverse environmental conditions. In agricultural contexts, an optimal level of dormancy is essential: Insufficient dormancy can result in preharvest sprouting, while excessive dormancy may lead to uneven germination and poor stand establishment in subsequent crops. In this research, we cloned qSdn5, a quantitative trait locus functioning as a positive regulator of seed dormancy in rice. The causal gene within qSdn5 encodes Quiescin sulfhydryl oxidase like 1 (QSOXL1). A critical amino acid polymorphism (K353E) in QSOXL1 between the varieties N22 and Nanjing35 (NJ35) significantly altered its enzymatic activity. The K-E substitution at position 353 disrupted the cellular redox state and ultimately influenced seed dormancy. Furthermore, we identified COP9 Signalosome Subunit 5 (CSN5) as a central regulator of dormancy, promoting the proteasomal degradation of QSOXL1, ABI5 and SLR1. Haplotype analysis revealed that Hap5 of QSOXL1, originating from the aus subpopulation, confers elevated seed dormancy levels. This haplotype presents a promising genetic resource for enhancing seed dormancy in rice breeding programmes.
