Transcriptional Response of Rice Mesocotyl Elongation to Sowing Depth and Identification of Key Regulatory Factors.
Article in Genes, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesHaving longer mesocotyls is beneficial for the deep-sowing tolerance of rice, which is important for seedling establishment.
methodsHere, we performed transcriptome analysis of the elongating mesocotyl of Zhengdao 209 in response to three different sowing depths to identify the pivotal genes regulating rice mesocotyl elongation.
resultsThree groups with different mesocotyl lengths were compared using transcriptome analysis, and 60 common differentially expressed genes were detected. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses revealed that these genes are primarily involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, cutin suberine and wax biosynthesis, the plant mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, diterpenoid biosynthesis, cyanoamino acid metabolism, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, flavonoid biosynthesis, and glutathione metabolism. Furthermore, weighted gene co-expression network and hierarchical clustering analyses showed that most of the differentially expressed genes are implicated in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, carbon metabolism, photosynthesis antenna proteins, and plant-pathogen interactions. Among the genes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis processes, the expression levels of
conclusionsThis study identified candidate genes governing rice mesocotyl length and provides novel insights into the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying mesocotyl elongation in rice.
