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 goal of this research was to generate a breeding population of horseweed segregating for glyphosate resistance. In order to generate a marker to select between hybrids of glyphosate resistant (GR) and glyphosate susceptible (GS) horseweed, a GR horseweed accession from western Tennessee was transformed with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene. The GFP marker allowed for the simple and accurate determination of GR hybrid plants by visual observation. GR plants were shown to be transgenic via the green fluorescence under UV light, and resistant to glyphosate when sprayed with the field-use-rate 0.84 kg acid equivalent ha(-1) of glyphosate (i.e. Roundup) herbicide. An in vitro screen for glyphosate resistance in seedlings was developed, and a 5 microM glyphosate concentration was found to reduce dry weight in GS seedlings but not in GR seedlings. The GR plants containing GFP were then hand-crossed with GS plants from eastern Tennessee under greenhouse conditions, with GS plants acting as the pollen acceptor. Resulting seed was collected and germinated for GFP fluorescence screening. Seedlings that exhibited the transgenic GFP phenotype were selected as F(1) hybrids between GR and GS horseweed. Thirty GSxGR hybrids were produced on the basis of a green-fluorescent GFP phenotype of GR plants. GSxGFP/GR F(1) hybrids produced F(2) seeds, and F(2) plants were shown to segregate for GFP fluorescence and glyphosate resistance independently. Both traits segregated at a Mendelian 3:1 ratio, indicating a single gene is responsible for each phenotype.
