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

Cinnamoyl-CoA reductases (CCRs) and their homologs, CCR-like proteins, play key roles in plant secondary metabolism and defense against environmental stresses; however, their functions in heat stress responses remain unclear. In this study, phylogenetic and sequence alignment analyses revealed that OsCCR14 encodes a CCR-like protein. qRT-PCR assays showed that OsCCR14 is predominantly expressed in roots and is induced by heat stress. Notably, overexpression of OsCCR14 increased lignin content, and transgenic plants with enhanced OsCCR14 expression exhibited higher flavonoid accumulation in roots. Conversely, knockout of OsCCR14 reduced flavonoid content and impaired seedling heat tolerance. Furthermore, OsCCR14 overexpression improved heat tolerance, accompanied by increased root lignification and flavonoid accumulation. These results indicate that OsCCR14 acts as a critical regulator of lignin and flavonoid metabolism, thereby providing a potential target for enhancing crop heat tolerance.
