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

Ideal root system architecture (RSA) is important for efficient nutrient uptake and high yield in crops. We cloned and characterized a key RSA regulatory gene, GRAVITROPISM LOSS 1 (OsGLS1), in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The gls1 mutant displays an increased root growth angle, longer primary roots, more adventitious roots and greater nutrient uptake efficiency and grain yield in paddy fields. OsGLS1 is strongly expressed in the root tips of seedlings and in leaves at the flowering stage. OsGLS1 encodes a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase mainly localizing at the basal plasma membrane (PM) in several root cell types when phosphorylated on its Ser-30 residue. OsGLS1 interacts with, ubiquitinates and promotes the degradation of basally localized PIN-FORMED 2 (OsPIN2) via the 26S proteasome, thus establishing the typical apical PM localization of OsPIN2 and polar auxin transport, ultimately shaping RSA. This previously unidentified OsGLS1-OsPIN2 regulatory pathway will contribute to an optimal RSA for enhancing nutrient efficiency in rice and other crops.
