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

This study aimed to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in sugarcane by analyzing transcriptome profiles of two genotypes (responsive, RB975375; non-responsive, RB937570) under contrasting nitrogen conditions, and along the leaf development gradient. Using RNA-seq data from 48 leaf segment samples, the analyses integrated gene co-expression network approaches to uncover genotype-specific regulatory modules and metabolic pathways linked to NUE. The responsive genotype prioritized carbon metabolism and defense under high nitrogen, while the non-responsive genotype activated photosynthesis and stress responses. Co-expression analysis revealed 44 nitrogen-responsive and 20 genotype-correlated modules. Module 20, enriched in MYB/MYB-related transcription factors, emerged as a central regulator of nitrogen response. Key metabolic markers (RUBISCO, PEPCASE) correlated with specific modules, and novel candidate genes (e.g., NewTr2475430.gen) showed genotype-specific expression. Generated resources include (1) RNA-seq datasets (NCBI BioProject PRJNA1176579); (2) a de novo transcriptome assembly (3.8 million transcripts clustered into 2.48 million transcript groups); (3) co-expression networks (1109 nodes, 199 modules); (4) annotated DEGs (2723) and metabolic correlations (e.g., RUBISCO, chlorophyll); (5) genotype-specific expression profiles and candidate genes (e.g., MYB transcription factors, uncharacterized transcripts). This resource provides actionable targets (e.g., MYB TFs, uncharacterized transcripts) for improving NUE in sugarcane breeding. The network modules and metabolic correlations offer a systems-level framework to study complex nitrogen-responsive mechanisms in polyploid C4 crops. Publicly available datasets enable comparative studies on nutrient use efficiency in polyploid crops, advancing sustainable agriculture.
