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

Potato somatic hybrids obtained by protoplast fusion between Solanum tuberosum (4x) and Solanum chacoense (2x) were investigated for genome stability and meiotic behavior associated with the pollen viability in order to elucidate the mechanism influencing the fertility of the somatic hybrids. The ploidy level detections conducted in 2004 and 2007 demonstrated that 68 out of 108 somatic hybrids had their ploidy level changed to be uniform and euploidy after successive in vitro subcultures, which mainly occurred in octaploids, aneuploids, and mixoploids, while 74% hexaploids were still stable in their genome dosage in 2007. Different types of abnormal meiotic behavior were observed during the development of pollen mother cells (PMCs) including the formation of univalents, multivalents, laggard chromosomes, and chromosomal bridges, as well as triads and polyads. A higher proportion of abnormal meiosis seemed to be accompanied with a genome dosage higher than the hexaploids expected in this study. A significant positive correlation between defective PMCs and the number of small pollen grains and negative correlation between number of small pollen grains and pollen viability strongly suggested that abnormal meiosis could be a causal factor influencing the fertility of the somatic hybrids. The hexaploids with stable genome dosage and a certain level of fertility will have great potential in a potato breeding program.
