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

backgroundLitchi is an evergreen woody tree widely cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions. Defective flowering is a major challenge for litchi production in time of climate change and global warming. Previous studies have shown that high temperature conditions encourage the growth of rudimentary leaves in panicles and suppress litchi flowering, while reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by methyl viologen dichloride hydrate (MV) promote flowering and abortion of rudimentary leaves. To understand the molecular function of the ROS-induced abortion of rudimentary leaves in litchi, we sequenced and de novo assembled the litchi transcriptome.

resultsOur assembly encompassed 82,036 unigenes with a mean size of 710 bp, and over 58% (47,596) of unigenes showed significant similarities to known sequences in GenBank non-redundant (nr) protein database. 5,865 unigenes were found to be differentially expressed between ROS-treated and un-treated rudimentary leaves, and genes encoding signaling components of plant hormones such as ABA and ethylene were significantly enriched.

conclusionOur transcriptome data represents the comprehensive collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of litchi leaves, which is a vital resource for future studies on the genomics of litchi and other closely related species. The identified differentially expressed genes also provided potential candidates for functional analysis of genes involved in litchi flowering underlying the control of rudimentary leaves in the panicles.
