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

A novel approach for chromosome doubling that consists of treating embryos instead of parts of micropropagated plants was investigated. Following 2-year trials, amiprofos-methyl (APM) was found to be superior to oryzalin on the basis of a lower toxicity, and we were able to narrow the range of concentrations of APM. The addition of 2% dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) and 1% Triton X-100 to 25 microM APM had no effect in all treatments. A final experiment with 6,658 embryos demonstrated that a 2-day treatment in liquid media supplemented with 50 microM APM was the most successful with respect to chromosome doubling-36.7% of the plants were diploid-but the survival rate was reduced to 52.5% of that of the non-treated control. A 2-day treatment in liquid medium supplemented with 25 microM APM or a 2-day treatment on solid medium with 50 microM APM resulted in the production of diploids at a frequency of 28.9% and 21.3%, respectively. These may represent alternative methods for chromosome doubling since compared to the untreated control these two treatments reduced the survival rate by only about 24%. Final ploidy and fertility of the large proportion of induced mixoploid plants (up to 30.3%) need to be evaluated in further studies.
