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

The present study was aimed at characterizing cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and identifying the fertility restorer gene for CMS (Diplotaxis catholica) Brassica juncea derived through sexual hybridization. The fertility restorer gene was identified by crossing the CMS line with progeny plants derived from somatic hybrids of B. juncea and D. cathoilca. The CMS line is comparable to the nuclear donor B. juncea in all respects except for flower and silique characteristics. In CMS plants, the flowers have smaller nectaries, and anthers are converted into petals or tubular structures. Gynoecium exhibits a crooked style and trilocular ovary. Seed fertility was reduced in the CMS line. Genetic segregation data indicated that a single, dominant, nuclear gene governs fertility restoration. Restored plants showed a high female fertility and lacked gynoecium abnormalities. In fertility-restored plants, petal development was found to be variable; some flowers had the normal number of four petals, while others had zero to three petals. Interestingly, the trilocular character of the ovary was found to co-segregate with CMS and became bilocular upon male-fertility restoration. Thus, this trait appears to be affected by the interaction of nuclear and mitochondrial (mt) genomes. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis indicated that mt-genome of D. catholica is highly divergent from that of B. juncea. However, in Northern analysis, out of eight mt genes studied, an altered transcript pattern was recorded for only atpA. In fertility-restored plants, the atpA transcript became shorter, thereby showing its association with CMS.
