Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience.
Review in The New phytologist, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
B-box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In this review, we provide an overview of the structure of this protein family and the function of its members in Arabidopsis thaliana model species. Then, we specifically discuss the role of BBX factors in controlling agronomically important traits in crop species, including flowering time, fruit and seed production, responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, and specialized metabolism. Finally, we address several aspects that require further investigation to dissect the mechanisms behind the multifaceted roles of BBX proteins and their implications for crop improvement. Current knowledge positions this protein family as a strategic target for the integrated modulation of signal transduction pathways, intended to optimize diverse physiological responses and improve the yield and nutritional value of food feedstocks.
