Article in Genes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFatty acyl-ACP thioesterase (FAT) genes regulate fatty acid composition and content, yet the FAT family in maize has not been systematically characterized.
methodsTen ZmFAT genes were identified from the maize genome and analyzed for gene structure, protein properties, phylogeny, collinearity, cis-acting elements, and predicted interactions. Transcriptome and qRT-PCR data were used to assess expression patterns during seed development.
resultsThe ten ZmFAT genes were grouped into two subfamilies (three ZmFATA and seven ZmFATB genes). Two pairs of collinear genes were detected within maize and one pair between maize and rice. Promoter analysis revealed light- and development-responsive elements. Two genes were functionally annotated in fatty acid biosynthesis, while five proteins exhibited interactions and 14 miRNAs were predicted to regulate ZmFAT genes. Expression analysis showed that ZmFATA1/2 and ZmFATB4/6/7 maintained high expression in both upper and lower seed parts, and qRT-PCR confirmed their gradual upregulation during seed development.
conclusionThis study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the maize ZmFAT family, offering insights into fatty acid metabolism and valuable genetic resources for improving maize oil composition.
