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

Sorghum seeds accumulate substantial amounts of condensed tannins (CTs), which are also referred to as proanthocyanidins (PAs), contributing to their characteristic astringent taste. Flavan-3-ol polymers, known as PAs, are sequestered within plant vacuoles and become catalytically activated via laccase enzymes. However, the biological roles and regulatory pathways of laccases in sorghum are still largely unclear. Here, integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of developing sorghum seeds identified 7942 differentially expressed genes between low- and high-CT lines, with Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment revealing flavonoid biosynthesis as a key pathway; weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) further pinpointed
