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

This study investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of single-bud versus multi-bud corms in Amorphophallus muelleri foliar bulbils. Hormonal quantification revealed that multi-bud corms possessed significantly higher Cytokinin (CTK) levels and a lower Auxin/CTK ratio compared to single-bud corms. Conversely, branching inhibitors such as Brassinosteroids (BR) and Strigolactones (SLs) were significantly higher in single-bud corms. Metabolomic analysis showed a specific enrichment of fructose in multi-bud corms, suggesting high energy demand. Transcriptome sequencing identified 742 differentially expressed transcription factors and significant enrichment in hormone signaling pathways. Data reliability was validated by qRT-PCR, which confirmed the upregulation of CTK receptors (AmCRE1) and sucrose metabolism genes (AmSPS, AmINV), and the downregulation of SL signaling genes (AmD14, AmD53) in multi-bud corms. Crucially, exogenous application of 1.0 mg/L 6-BA verified the inductive role of CTK, achieving a 100% multi-bud formation rate and stabilizing the phenotype. We conclude that a high CTK background, coupled with reduced SL/BR signaling and enhanced fructose metabolism, releases apical dominance to drive multi-bud formation. These findings provide a theoretical basis and practical method for improving the propagation coefficient of konjac.
