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

Both the filling and development of grain are key processes determining agriculture production and reproductive growth in rice. The processes of grain filling and endosperm development are crucial for the accumulation of major storage compounds in rice grains. This requires extensive remobilization of carbon reserves from source to sink and the precise regulation of sucrose-to-starch conversion. Both the developmental sequence of the panicle and environmental signals influence the carbon flow between the leaves, leaf sheath, stem, and spikelets during grain filling. This, in turn, affects endosperm development and the production of storage compounds. In this review, we synthesize recent insight into grain development in rice, focusing on the dynamic changes in phytohormones and how their homeostasis integrates developmental and environmental cues to control grain filling in the developing panicle. We also highlight recent advances in the genetic control of carbohydrate remobilization and the transcriptional regulatory networks governing carbohydrate metabolism and grain development in rice. The asynchronous initiation and imbalance in grain filling limit the full yield potential of cereal crops. The "superior/inferior spikelets" serve as a model system for understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying grain filling and development. Systematic research on carbohydrate flow and phytohormone crosstalk could enhance our understanding of optimizing yield production in cereal crops. Additionally, a thorough analysis of key genetic regulatory mechanisms can offer a genetic foundation and targets for precisely adjusting grain filling traits, ultimately aiding in the development of high-yield crop varieties.
