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
The parthenocarpic fruit ( pat) gene of tomato is a recessive mutation conferring parthenocarpy, which is the capability of a plant to set seedless fruits in the absence of pollination and fertilization. Parthenocarpic mutants offer a useful method to regulate fruit production and a suitable experimental system to study ovary and fruit development. In order to map the Pat locus, two populations segregating from the interspecific cross Lycopersicon esculentum x Lycopersicon pennellii were grown, and progeny plants were classified as parthenocarpic or wild-type by taking into account some characteristic aberrations affecting mutant anthers and ovules. Through bulk segregant analysis, we searched for both random and mapped AFLPs linked to the target gene. In this way, the Pat locus was assigned to the long arm of chromosome 3, as also confirmed by the analysis of a set of L. pennellii substitution and introgression lines. Afterwards, the Pat position was refined by using simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and conserved ortholog set (COS) markers mapping in the target region. The tightest COSs were converted into CAPS or SCAR markers. At present, two co-dominant SCAR markers encompassing a genetic window of 1.2 cM flank the Pat locus. Considering that these markers are orthologous to Arabidopsis genes, a positional cloning exploiting the tomato- Arabidopsis microsynteny seems to be a short-term objective.
