Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSafflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a valuable herb known for its flowers, which are rich in flavonoids and are used for promoting blood circulation and preventing atherosclerosis. However, the molecular regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in safflower is still poorly understood. In this study, we identified a AtMYB12 homologous gene, CtMYB1, in safflower and characterized its sequence. The flower protoplast transient expression system and virus-induced gene silence (VIGS) technique were established in safflower and we tested the role of CtMYB1 in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis. The correlation between CtMYB1 and flavonoid synthesis genes was analyzed using a molecular interaction assay.
resultsFlower protoplasts transient expression showed that flavonoid biosynthesis genes CtC4H2, CtF3H4, and CtHCT12 were upregulated after transfection with CtMYB1. Meanwhile, VIGS showed that the transfected petals were lighter in color, and there was a decrease in the amount of the major component Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) compared to the control. Yeast one-hybrid experiments demonstrate that CtMYB1 can bind to the promoters of flavonoid biosynthesis genes (CtC4H2, CtF3H4). The interaction analysis by the use of Biacore system revealed that CtMYB1 binds to the CAACCA element of flavonoid biosynthesis genes promoters.
conclusionsCtMYB1 regulates flavonoid biosynthesis in safflower flower by binding the CAACCA elements of flavonoid biosynthesis related genes promoters, which sheds light on the molecular regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in safflower. The flower protoplasts expression system and the VIGS system established in safflower are valuable tools for studying the function of genes involved in the regulation and biosynthesis of active compounds in safflower.
