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
High-temperature events are projected to increase in frequency under future climate scenarios, threatening rice yields globally. This study investigated the physiological and molecular responses of two Brazilian flooded rice varieties, IRGA 428 and BR-IRGA 409, during the anthesis stage under high-temperature stress, aiming to uncover mechanisms of heat tolerance. Plants were exposed to a daytime temperature of 38°C for 7 h across 3, 5, or 7 days. Prolonged heat stress led to a significant reduction in filled grain in both cultivars, although BR-IRGA 409 demonstrated greater heat tolerance, particularly under 3 days of stress, as it maintained higher spikelet fertility compared to IRGA 428. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that BR-IRGA 409 had more differentially expressed genes in response to heat stress, including a significant upregulation of canonical heat-responsive genes such as heat shock factors, heat shock proteins, and peptidyl-prolyl isomerase FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs). Furthermore, BR-IRGA 409 displayed enhanced modulation of the mitochondrial electron transport pathway, which is crucial for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and cellular energy production. Interestingly, while photosynthetic performance varied between cultivars, only a few genes associated with photosynthesis were significantly altered in response to heat stress. Instead, BR-IRGA 409 displayed a higher basal expression of photosynthesis-related genes, suggesting that this pre-adaptation might mitigate heat stress impacts on photosynthesis. The ability to preserve functional photosynthetic activity is critical for sustaining the energy-intensive process required to cope with heat stress. This study highlights the difference between the varieties in their response to heat stress and identifies candidate molecular and physiological mechanisms that contribute to maintaining cellular energy homeostasis and heat tolerance in Brazilian rice, providing valuable insights for crop improvement strategies.
