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 messageDiversity in fruit shape. Angiosperms (flowering plants) evolved during the Cretaceous Period more than 100 million years ago and quickly colonized all terrestrial habitats on the planet. A major reason for their success was the formation of fruits that would protect and nurture the developing seeds. Moreover, a massive range of diversity in fruit shape occurred during a relatively short time, which allowed for the development of ingenious ways of fertilization as well as strategies for efficient seed dispersal. The Brassicaceae family more than any exemplifies the diversity in fruit morphologies, thus providing an ideal group of plants to study how specific shapes are established. Although many genes controlling fruit patterning in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana have been identified, the processes of carpel and fruit morphogenesis are still poorly understood. Moreover, Arabidopsis fruits are relatively simple in their structure and are therefore not ideally suited for analyzing processes of morphology determination without comparison to species with differently shaped fruits. Here, we review the diversity of fruit shape within the Brassicaceae family. As an example we describe the close relative of Arabidopsis, Capsella rubella that develops flat, heart-shaped fruits showing and highlighting its potential as a model system for research into organ shape. Recent progress in genomics including fast and cheap genome sequencing and annotation as well as development of mutant populations has opened entirely new and exciting possibilities of studying the mechanisms and processes underlying fruit formation in angiosperms.
