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

The circadian clock synchronises plant physiology with environmental oscillations to promote plant fitness. The commonly-used methods for rhythm monitoring in dicots include rhythmic leaf movement tracking and luciferase-based imaging. For monocots, however, the leaf erectness makes these methods ineffective. Leveraging over 11,000 transcriptome samples, the circadian time-course profiling, the simulation-based algorithm optimisation, and the experimental validation, we developed SPIRAL, an online single time-point circadian analysis platform for rice and unexpectedly revealed a ∼28-hour endogenous rhythm in V4-stage Nipponbare leaves, making period-matched or long-day photoperiods comparatively more permissive growth conditions for the assayed experimental system. We demonstrated the versatility of SPIRAL by quantifying global rhythm sensitivity to abiotic stresses, pinpointing when nitrogen deficiency starts to perturb rhythms, a temporal resolution surpassing that of the state-of-the-art methods, and identifying candidate components connecting the clock to stresses through factorial analyses. Online deployment of SPIRAL enables platform-independent analysis of public and user-supplied rice transcriptomes to accelerate discoveries in crop adaptation and chronoculture.
