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

Improvement of cold tolerance at the booting stage (CTB) in rice is a key strategy for cultivation in high-altitude and high-latitude regions. Here, we identify CTB3 gene, encoding a calmodulin-binding transcriptional activator that positively regulates cold tolerance at the booting stage in japonica rice. Two indels (57-bp and 284-bp) in the CTB3 promoter confer a differential transcriptional response to cold between the japonica and indica subspecies. OsTCP19 suppresses CTB3 expression by binding to these indels, negatively regulating cold tolerance. CTB3 activates the expression of TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE1 (OsTPP1), reducing trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) levels, which increases sugar accumulation in panicles and improves cold tolerance. Additionally, favorable alleles of OsTCP19 and CTB3 are selected in japonica rice for cold adaptation. These findings highlight the important role of CTB3 in cold adaptation and its potential for improving cold tolerance in rice breeding.
