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

Cinnamomum camphora is a cornerstone ornamental tree species in southern China, valued for its evergreen foliage and distinctive scent. However, the uniformly green foliage and brown bark limit its landscaping values. In this study, we characterised a coloured camphor variety, 'Gantong 1', and revealed cyanidin content as the critical factor responsible for its stem coloration. Correlation analysis indicated that the transcription factor CcMYB17 plays a crucial role in cyanidin accumulation. We functionally validated CcMYB17 through yeast one-hybrid assays, luciferase reporter assays and multi-omics analysis in a poplar model system. Our results demonstrate that CcMYB17 regulates the synergistic accumulation of cyanidin and delphinidin by activating key anthocyanin biosynthesis genes, specifically CcDFR and CcLDOX. This systematic elucidation of the colour mechanism 'Gantong 1' and the functional role of CcMYB17 deepens our understanding of ornamental trait improvement in C. camphora. It provides a foundation for molecular-assisted breeding of coloured woody trees.
