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

Anthocyanin accumulation in Rosaceae fruits is governed by a multi-layered regulatory network integrating transcriptional control, epigenetic modulation, environmental signaling, and metabolic flux allocation. This review presents a critical synthesis of recent advances in this field, moving beyond descriptive gene lists to examine the mechanistic underpinnings of pigment regulation. We first outline the core biosynthetic pathway and post-synthetic modifications that ensure pigment stability. The central focus is on the MYB-bHLH-WD40 transcriptional complex and its integration with epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs) and post-transcriptional regulation. We further examine how environmental cues-light, temperature, and hormones-are transduced through these molecular networks, and analyze metabolic flux control at pathway branch points. A cross-species comparative perspective across major Rosaceae crops (
