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

The R2R3-MYB transcription factor StAN1, a crucial regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis in potato tubers, exerts previously unexplored global control over flavonoid diversification. Integrated transcriptomics (RNA-seq) and flavonoid metabolomics (UPLC-MS/MS) of StAN1-overexpressing tubers revealed its dual role in metabolic reprogramming: among 186 identified flavonoids, 122 exhibited tissue-specific accumulation shifts, with anthocyanins (e.g., pelargonidin/cyanidin), flavanones, and flavanonols upregulated in red flesh while flavonols (kaempferol/quercetin derivatives) were suppressed. Transcriptomic analyses identified 4783 flesh-specific and 2935 skin-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs), pinpointing key biosynthetic genes and novel co-regulators (ERF, WRKY, bHLH TFs). Mechanistically, DAP-seq demonstrated StAN1 binding to promoters of flavonoid genes (e.g., StDFR), and dual-luciferase assays confirmed its direct activation of StDFR expression. Regulatory network expansion was evidenced by co-upregulation of RLKs (e.g., LRK10-like kinases), implicating kinase signaling in flavonoid partitioning. This study elucidates StAN1's multifaceted role beyond anthocyanin activation-orchestrating metabolic flux, engaging novel TF/kinase networks, and directly targeting structural genes-providing a foundation for engineering potatoes with enhanced nutraceutical properties via targeted manipulation of the StAN1 regulatory network.
