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

backgroundReversible flower opening and closing is a specialized reproductive strategy to improve plant fitness in response to ambient environmental changes. As a common phenomenon in angiosperm plants, the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Previous research shows that this phenomenon is a characteristic feature of the genus Gentiana, and the external environmental cues driving petal movements differ among species. However, due to the interaction among environmental stimuli, limited progress was made in disentangling the responsible signaling pathways and putative molecular regulators.

resultsWe identified the alpine species Gentiana rigescens as a model to study repetitive flower opening and closing. Field observations and laboratory investigations confirmed that ambient temperature is the dominant factor driving repetitive flower opening and closing in G. rigescens. We constructed a chromosome-level genome assembly for G. rigescens and performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of flowers under varying natural temperature conditions. Differentially expressed genes revealed Ca

conclusionsThis study provides genetic resources for investigating the temperature-regulated repetitive flower opening and highlights the divergent signaling pathways in controlling reversible flower opening and closing.
