The carotenoids metabolism during tomato fruit ripening: insights into multi-level regulatory network.
Review in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Carotenoids play an indispensable positive role in human nutrition and health. Understanding the biosynthesis and catabolism pathways of carotenoids in tomato fruits has practical value and fundamental importance. Carotenoid biosynthesis and catabolism are developmental program regulated at multiple levels. In recent years, numerous studies have explored the dynamic interactions between phytohormones, transcription factors, and epigenetic modifications to establish a regulatory network for carotenoid accumulation. However, understanding the regulation of the diversity and complexity of carotenoid accumulation remains incomplete. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms of plastid storage capacity, phytohormones, epigenetic modifications, and transcription factors in regulating carotenoid biosynthesis and metabolism in tomato fruit. These insights offer foundational research and considerations for metabolic engineering aimed at altering carotenoid composition and content in tomatoes. We have also identified several unresolved issues for future research, which will help to better understand the factors regulating carotenoid accumulation in tomato fruits.
