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

Cross-species annotation transfer is a widely used approach for transferring information about simple molecular functions or pathways from one protein in one species to its ortholog in another species. In crop species, the phenotypic traits of interest, such as grain yield, are very complex and are often related to multiple biological processes and systems. It is still unclear to what extent the high level annotations describing phenotypic traits can also be reliably transferred across species. In this work, we have developed a procedure to measure precisely the transferability of these functional annotations from one species to another and demonstrate its application to Arabidopsis and several crop species. This comparative analysis is a step towards assigning higher level biological function to genes and gene networks as part of the wider genotype to phenotype challenge.
