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 apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivar 'Su Shuai' exhibits greater disease resistance, shorter internodes and lighter fruit flavor compared with its parents 'Golden Delicious' and 'Indo'. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the sequence variation in these three horticultural traits, the genomes of 'Su Shuai' and 'Indo' were resequenced using next-generation sequencing and compared to the genome of 'Golden Delicious'. A wide range of genetic variations were detected, including 2 454 406 and 18 749 349 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and 59 547 and 50 143 structural variants (SVs) in the 'Indo' and 'Su Shuai' genomes, respectively. Among the SVs in 'Su Shuai', 17 genes related to disease resistance, 10 genes related to Gibberellin (GA) and 19 genes associated with fruit flavor were identified. The expression patterns of eight of the SV genes were examined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results of this study illustrate the genomic variation in these cultivars and provide evidence for a genetic basis for the horticultural traits of disease resistance, short internodes and lighter flavor exhibited in these cultivars. These results provide a genetic basis for the phenotypic characteristics of 'Su Shuai' and, as such, these SVs could serve as gene-specific molecular markers in maker-assisted breeding of apples.
