Integrated Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis of Color Changes in Maize Root Systems Treated with Methyl Jasmonate.

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
(1) Background: As a high-biomass cereal crop, maize provides substantial raw materials for food, animal feed, and processing industries. Plant root systems, vital for nutritional support, are directly vulnerable to diverse stressors that result in developmental abnormalities. Anthocyanins function as essential antioxidants, serving not only as natural pigments, but also playing crucial roles in plant stress resistance. As an essential plant hormone, jasmonic acid (JA) mediates plant stress adaptation and developmental processes, and is frequently employed to stimulate anthocyanin production. (2) Methods: Due to scarce reports on JA functions in maize, we specifically examined JA-triggered developmental regulation and anthocyanin biosynthesis using transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis. (3) Results: Phenotypic analyses revealed that exogenous JA application promoted culm development and intensified pigmentation, while enlarging the areas of stems and primary roots. Combined with phenotypic variations, our integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of root tissues also indicated that significantly altered metabolites specifically clustered within the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of the associated differentially expressed genes confirmed their participation in this synthetic pathway with high confidence. These findings strongly suggest that methyl jasmonate (MeJA) exposure primarily modulates flavonoid biosynthesis, particularly through regulation of
