Systematic identification of terpene synthases from sacred lotus (
Article in Horticulture research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Sacred lotus is widely used in the agricultural, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. Terpenes are not only crucial components of sacred lotus essential oil, but also serve as signaling molecules involved in plant-environment interactions. However, the biosynthesis of terpenes in sacred lotus has not yet been reported. Thus, gene-directed heterologous mining and combinatorial biosynthesis methods were used in this study to systematically characterize the function of terpene synthase genes in the sacred lotus. As a result, two monoterpene, 11 sesquiterpene, and three diterpene products were synthesized, and a highly efficient γ-eudesmol synthase was discovered. In addition, a mechanistic study revealed that N314 is the key amino acid responsible for the secondary cyclization that produces γ-eudesmol.
