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

Previous locations of flowering time (FT) QTL in several Brassica species, coupled with Arabidopsis synteny, suggest that orthologues of the genes FLC, FY or CONSTANS might be the candidates. We focused on FLC, and cloned paralogous copies in Brassica oleracea, obtained their genomic DNA sequences, and confirmed their locations relative to those of known FT-QTL by genetical mapping. They varied in total length mainly due to the variable size of the first and last introns. A high level of identity was observed among Brassica FLC genes at the amino acid level but non-synonymous differences were present. Comparative analysis of the promoter and intragenic regions of BoFLC paralogues with Arabidopsis FLC revealed extensive differences in overall structure and organisation but showed high conservation within those segments known to be essential in regulating FLC expression. Four B. oleracea FLC copies (BoFLC1, BoFLC3, BoFLC4 and BoFLC5) were located to their respective linkage groups based on allelic sequence variation in lines from a doubled haploid population. All except BoFLC4 were within the confidence intervals of known FT-QTL. Sequence data indicated that relevant non-synonymous polymorphisms were present between parents A12DHd and GDDH33 for BoFLC genes. However, BoFLC alleles segregated independently of FT in backcrosses while the study provided evidence that BoFLC4 and BoFLC5 contain premature stop codons and so could not contribute to flowering time variation. Therefore, there is strong evidence against any of the 4 BoFLC being FT-QTL candidates in this population.
