Natural Variations in the Activity of Hydroxycinnamoyl Transferases Promote Accumulation of Metabolites Conferring Rice Resistance.
Article in Plant biotechnology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plant-derived secondary metabolites act as regulators of in planta defence. Plant phenylpropanoid metabolic compounds, including final metabolites such as lignin and flavonoids, and a few intermediate metabolites play critical roles in defence. Here, we functionally characterised two rice hydroxycinnamoyl transferases OsSHT1 and OsSHT2, which are responsible for catalysing branches of the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway and regulating resistance to bacterial pathogens. Both OsSHT1 and OsSHT2 can use p-Coumaroyl-CoA and feruloyl-CoA as acyl donors and prefer spermidine as an acyl acceptor, as verified by in vitro biochemical assays and in vivo metabolic analysis. Knocking out OsSHT1 and OsSHT2 blocked the branching of the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway, resulting in an accumulation of intermediate metabolites p-Coumaric acid and ferulic acid and final metabolites lignin and flavonoids. These intermediate metabolites exhibit antimicrobial activity towards phytopathogenic bacteria and final metabolites enhance rice immunity. Haplotype analysis and population genetics revealed rice accessions with lower expression levels of OsSHT1 and OsSHT2 accumulate higher concentrations of phenolic compounds and exhibit enhanced resistance. Furthermore, OsMYB30 binds directly to the promoters of OsSHT1 and OsSHT2, thereby suppressing their expression and negatively regulating rice resistance to bacterial pathogens. The OsMYB30
