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

key messageThe ripening-induced MaBSD1 acts as a transcriptional activator, and might be involved in banana fruit ripening partly through directly activating the expression of two ripening-associated genes, MaEXP1/2. BSD (BTF2-like transcription factors, synapse-associated proteins and DOS2-like proteins) transcription factors are characterized by a typical BSD domain. However, little information is available concerning their possible roles in plant growth and development, especially in fruit ripening. In the present study, one BSD gene, designated as MaBSD1, was isolated from banana fruit. MaBSD1 has an open reading frame (ORF) of 921 bp which encodes a polypeptide of 306 amino acid residues with molecular weight of 34.80 kDa, and isoelectric point (pI) of 4.54. Subcellular localization and transcriptional activation assays showed that MaBSD1 was localized in both the nucleus and cytoplasm and possessed transcriptional activity. RT-qPCR and promoter activity analysis indicated that MaBSD1 was ethylene and ripening inducible, and the accumulation of MaBSD1 transcript was correlated well with the evolution of ethylene production and ripening process. Moreover, transient assay showed that MaBSD1 could activate the expression of two cell wall modification-related genes, MaEXP1/2, via directly interacting with their promoters. Together, these data suggest that ripening-induced MaBSD1 acts as a transcriptional activator and might be associated with banana fruit ripening, at least partially through directly activating the expression of MaEXP1/2, expanding the limited information concerning the BSD transcription factor in relation to fruit ripening.
