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

Terpene synthases (TPSs) are key drivers of terpenoid diversity in plants, yet the diversity and mechanisms driving their diversification in gymnosperms remain poorly understood. Through comparative genomic analyses of 16 representative land plant species, we demonstrate that tandem duplication (TD) plays an important role in the expansion of gymnosperm-specific TPS-d subfamily. These TD-generated TPS-d genes exhibit elevated sequence variability and markedly increased tissue specificity (τ) compared with conserved primary-metabolic TPS-c and TPS-e/f genes, indicating rapid functional and regulatory divergence following duplication. Together, our results propose a comprehensive evolutionary framework that illustrates how TD, sequence divergence, and expression diversification collectively shape TPS-d gene evolution in gymnosperms, providing new insights into lineage-specific terpenoid profiles and ecological adaptation in gymnosperms.
