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

Plant invertases catalyze the conversion of sucrose to glucose and fructose, which are distinct signals of widely varied stress-tolerance processes, including the biosynthesis and detection of hormones under water deficit. In the invertase gene family, the candidate gene ivr2 encoding plant acid-soluble invertase plays a vital role in drought tolerance. In this study, a putative genomic sequence of ivr2 including three exons and two introns was acquired and genetically analyzed using bioinformatics and statistics, based on a partial ivr2 gene sequence of the GenBank library. The ivr2 genomic sequence data from 106 maize inbred lines were obtained using five nested primer pairs. Further analysis showed that the detected polymorphic sites were mainly located in exon-1, intron-1 and exon-2 regions; High linkage disequilibrium level and low nucleotide diversity were identified at this ivr2 locus. Association mapping combined the genotypic and phenotypic data, and a total of 48 associations showed high contributions to the variations in grain yield and its components under well-watered and water-stressed conditions over 2 years of experiments. This suggested that functional polymorphisms in ivr2 were possibly associated with maize drought tolerance. This provides reference information for efficient marker-assisted selection of superior alleles in drought tolerance breeding programs.
