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 floral organ morphogenesis of the apetalous flower mutant Apet33-10 in Brassica napus was investigated and the result showed that all the floral organ morphogenesis was normal except that petal primordium was not observed during flower development. Eighteen genes were found to be down regulated in early floral buds (less than 200 mum in length) of Apet33-10 at the stage of floral organ initiation by means of suppressive subtraction hybridization (SSH) and RT-PCR. These genes were involved in petal identity, calcium iron signal transduction, mRNA processing, protein synthesis and degradation, construction of cytoskeleton, hydrogen transportation, nucleic acid binding, alkaloid biosynthesis and unknown function. Three overall coding region cDNAs of APETALA3 (AP3) gene, BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 were obtained by RT-PCR, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression ratio among BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 was 3.67:3.68:1 in early floral buds of wild type Pet33-10. The expression level of BnAP3-2, BnAP3-3 and BnAP3-4 in early floral buds of Apet33-10 was down-regulated to 36.6, 28.3 and 66.8% with the comparison of that of wild type, respectively, and the overall expression level of AP3 genes in apetalous mutant amounted to 45.0% of that in wild type. The difference in the expression level of each AP3 gene in stamen between apetalous and wild type lines was not significant. It is suggested that lower abundant expression of AP3 genes during the early flower development might be enough for stamen primordium initiation, but not enough for petal primordium initiation in the apetalous line Apet33-10.
