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 cell cycle is an important process during seed development in plants and its progression is driven by a number of core regulators such as the cyclins. Currently, however, little is known regarding the role of the cyclins in embryo and endosperm development in cereals. In our current study, we show that the knockdown of Orysa;CycB1;1 in rice results in the production of abnormal seeds, which at maturity contain only an enlarged embryo. It was further found that a delayed and abnormal cellularization occurred in the endosperm in these knockdown seeds which eventually became abortive. Moreover, the observed development of the enlarged embryo was also morphologically abnormal and found to be caused by an enlarged cell size rather than an increased cell number. Expression analysis showed that Orysa;CycB1;1 transcripts were localized in the endosperm and embryo. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling further indicated that a large number of genes are responsible for the phenotype of the enlarged embryo. The results of the knockdown of Orysa;CycB1;1 via an endosperm or an embryo-specific promoter also suggest that the enlarged embryo may be correlated to the abortive endosperm. Our results suggest that Orysa;CycB1;1 expression is critical for endosperm formation via the regulation of mitotic division, and that the endosperm plays an important role in maintenance of embryo development in rice.
