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 coexistence of both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes and the availability of a set of genetic and genomic resources make melon a suitable model for genetic studies of fruit ripening. We have previously described a QTL, ETHQB3.5, which induces climacteric fruit ripening in the near-isogenic line (NIL) SC3-5 that harbors an introgression on linkage group (LG) III from the non-climacteric melon accession PI 161375 in the, also non-climacteric cultivar, "Piel de Sapo" genetic background. In the current study, a new major QTL, ETHQV6.3, on LG VI was detected on an additional introgression in the same NIL. These QTLs are capable, individually, of inducing climacteric ripening in the non-climacteric background, the effects of ETHQV6.3 being greater than that of ETHQB3.5. The QTLs interact epistatically, advancing the timing of ethylene biosynthesis during ripening and, therefore, the climacteric responses. ETHQV6.3 was fine-mapped to a 4.5 Mb physical region of the melon genome, probably in the centromeric region of LG VI. The results presented will be of value in the molecular identification of the gene underlying ETHQV6.3.
