Seasonal variation in the content of β-asarone and related phenylpropenes and their associated transcriptomic profiles in Acorus calamus.
Article in Journal of plant research, 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
Acorus calamus L. is a monocotyledonous medicinal plant possessing bioactive compounds, including β-asarone, which exhibits anti-microbial, neuroprotective, and antioxidant effects. However, the biosynthetic pathway of β-asarone in A. calamus remains poorly understood. This study investigated seasonal changes in the accumulation of β-asarone and related phenylpropenes and their associated transcriptome. Leaf, root, and rhizome samples were analyzed by gas chromatography, and leaf samples representing periods with the lowest and highest levels of β-asarone and its related phenylpropene (Z)-methylisoeugenol were selected for comparative transcriptome analysis. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis revealed distinct gene expression patterns during β-asarone accumulation, including the downregulation of most phenylpropanoid biosynthetic genes and upregulation of the genes encoding 4-coumarate-CoA ligase and caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase. Conversely, these genes exhibited different expression patterns during the periods of high (Z)-methylisoeugenol accumulation. This study suggests that β-asarone biosynthesis involves different pathways from predicted phenylpropene routes and provides insights into the seasonal regulation of specialized phenylpropanoid metabolism in A. calamus.
