Transcriptome analysis of secondary-wall-enriched seed coat tissues of canola (Brassica napus L.).
Article in Plant cell reports, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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 seed coat of Brassica napus (canola, oilseed rape) is derived from ovule integuments and contains a layer of palisade cells, which have thick secondary walls. Because cellulosic walls and other indigestible components of the seed coat contribute negatively to the value of oilseeds, efforts are underway to alter seed development. To facilitate these efforts, and to better understand the biology of seed coats, we used a 90,000 element microarray to identify genes whose transcripts were expressed in developing seed coats of B. napus. After dissecting seed coats into three layers, and comparing transcript expression in the middle fraction (which contained the palisade-enriched tissue and bulk of inner integument) to transcript expression in developing hypocotyls, we identified 674 genes whose transcripts were more abundant in the middle fraction of the seed coat. Among these were well-characterized markers of seed coat identity and many genes associated with metabolism of cell wall polysaccharides, flavonoids and various cell wall proteins and transcription factors. Conversely, we identified 1,203 genes whose transcripts were more abundant in the hypocotyl tissue as compared to seed coat, including xylem-specific markers, such as XCP1 and XCP2. We validated 21 of the differentially expressed transcripts using quantitative RT-PCR. The results define a set of transcripts that are highly enriched in the developing seed coat of B. napus.
