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 dwarf pomegranate (Punica granatum L. var. nana) is a dwarf ornamental plant that has the potential to be the model plant of perennial fruit trees because it bears fruits within 1 year of seedling. We established an Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for the dwarf pomegranate. Adventitious shoots regenerated from leaf segments were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring the binary vector pBin19-sgfp, which contains neomycin phosphotransferase (npt II) and green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene as a selectable and visual marker, respectively. After co-cultivation, the inoculated adventitious shoots were cut into small pieces to induce regeneration, and then selected on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 muM alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 5 muM N(6)-benzyladenine (BA), 0.3% gellan gum, 50 mg/l kanamycin, and 10 mg/l meropenem. Putative transformed shoots were regenerated after 6-8 months of selection. PCR and PCR-Southern blot analysis revealed the integration of the transgene into the plant genome. Transformants bloomed and bore fruits within 3 months of being potted, and the inheritance of the transgene was confirmed in T(1) generations. The advantage of the transformation of dwarf pomegranate was shown to be the high transformation rate. The establishment of this transformation system is invaluable for investigating fruit-tree-specific phenomena.
