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

Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor STOREKEEPER (OsSTK). OsSTK binds to the promoter region of OsNOMT (Naringenin-7-O-Methyltransferase) to drive sakuranetin biosynthesis. Rice overexpressing OsSTK exhibits enhanced resistance to M. oryzae and improved growth, with greater plant height and higher grain yield, achieved through optimised resource allocation and carbon flow supporting both primary and secondary metabolite production. Moreover, the identification of OsSTK haplotypes linked to functional divergence in sakuranetin-mediated resistance, particularly in high-sucrose rice cultivars, underscores OsSTK's capacity to overcome the traditional growth-defence trade-off. This work highlights OsSTK as a valuable molecular target for breeding resilient, high-yielding rice varieties capable of withstanding environmental stresses. By advancing our understanding of resource allocation through carbon flow regulation, this study offers a sustainable strategy to improve food security and promote agricultural resilience in the face of climate change.
