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

Breakdown of the pollination barrier of self-incompatibility (SI) in older flowers, a phenomenon known as pseudo-self-compatibility or transient SI, has been described as an advantageous reproductive assurance strategy that allows selfing after opportunities for out-crossing have been exhausted [1-9]. Pseudo-self-compatibility is quite prevalent as a mixed mating strategy in nature, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not known. We had previously shown that Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits cryptic natural variation for pseudo-self-compatibility, which is uncovered by transformation of different accessions with SI specificity-determining SRK and SCR genes from its self-incompatible sister species A. lyrata[10, 11]. Here, by using this transgenic A. thaliana model, we show that pseudo-self-compatibility is caused by a hypomorphic allele of PUB8, an S-locus-linked gene encoding a previously uncharacterized ARM repeat- and U box-containing protein that regulates SRK transcript levels. This is the first gene underlying pseudo-self-compatibility to be identified and the first report in which cryptic natural variation unveiled by a transgene enabled the cloning of a gene for a complex trait.
