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

LEUNIG (LUG) and LEUNIG_HOMOLOG (LUH) are Groucho/Tup1-type transcriptional co-regulators in Arabidopsis thaliana that act redundantly across multiple developmental and environmental response pathways. Their specific contributions to flower development, however, have remained unclear due to embryonic lethality of double mutants. Here, we show that LUH associates with distinct sets of transcription factors and chromatin-associated proteins in a developmentally dynamic manner. Chromatin occupancy and protein interactions shift from a meristem-focused network during early floral patterning to an organogenesis-oriented state as primordia initiate and expand. Reduced promoter-proximal LUH binding coincides with this proliferative phase, suggesting a transient reconfiguration of LUH activity. By later stages, LUH activity is amplified alongside organ differentiation programs. Together with LUG, LUH modulates gene expression programs that are essential for establishing floral organ patterning. These findings reveal how dynamic co-regulator assemblies contribute to the temporal coordination of growth and spatial pattern formation in Arabidopsis flowers.
