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

Floral organ development plays a critical role in determining crop yield and quality, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process in sesame remain poorly understood. In this study, comparative transcriptomic analyses were conducted between the wild-type Yuzhi11 and a dehiscent-corolla mutant, css1, to investigate the genetic basis of floral organ variation. A total of 114 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the two genotypes in both the main and lateral flowers, among which 47 candidate genes were implicated in main/lateral floral organ development. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed two gene modules significantly associated with the mutant's main and lateral flowers, respectively. Five hub genes were identified within each module, and their potential regulatory networks and protein-protein interactions networks were characterized. These findings provide new insights into the genetic regulation of flower and fruit development in sesame, and may inform future breeding strategies to optimize floral and yield related traits.
