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 high chromosome numbers, polyploid genomes, and long juvenile phases of most ornamental orchid species render functional genomics difficult and limit the discovery of genes influencing horticultural traits. The orchid Erycina pusilla has a low chromosome number (2n = 12) and flowers in vitro within 1 year, making it a standout candidate for use as a model orchid. However, transcriptomic and genomic information from E. pusilla remains limited. In this study, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used to identify 90,668 unigenes by de novo assembly. These unigenes were annotated functionally and analyzed with regard to their gene ontology (GO), clusters of orthologous groups (COG), and KEGG pathways. To validate the discovery methods, a homolog of CONSTANS (CO), one of the key genes in the flowering pathway, was further analyzed. The Arabidopsis CO-Like (COL) amino acid sequences were used to screen for homologs in the E. pusilla transcriptome database. Specific primers to the homologous unigenes were then used to isolate BAC clones, which were sequenced to identify 12 E. pusilla CO-like (EpCOL) full-length genes. Based on sequence homology, domain structure, and phylogenetic analysis, these EpCOL genes were divided into four groups. Four EpCOLs fused with GFP were localized in the nucleus. Some EpCOL genes were regulated by light. These results demonstrate that nascent E. pusilla resources (transcriptome and BAC library) can be used to investigate the E. pusilla photoperiod-dependent flowering genes. In future, this strategy can be applied to other biological processes, marketable traits, and molecular breeding in this model orchid.
