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 messageA R2R3-MYB gene AaMYB2 was isolated from Anthurium andraeanum (Hort.) and was functionally characterized to be a positive transcriptional regulator for anthocyanin biosynthesis in the spathes and leaves. Spathe coloration is an important Anthurium andraeanum (Hort.) characteristic, which is mainly contributed by anthocyanins. R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) are important regulators of anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants. Here we describe the identification and characterization of AaMYB2, a member in subgroup 6 of the R2R3-MYB TFs family, which correlated with anthocyanin biosynthesis in A. andraeanum. AaMYB2 was a nuclear-localization protein with positive transcriptional activity, and prominently expressed in the red spathes. Ectopic expression of AaMYB2 in tobacco led to anthocyanin accumulation and up-regulation of the early and late anthocyanin pathway genes, particularly NtDFR, NtANS, and NtUFGT, and the endogenous TF genes NtAn2 and NtAn1 in leaves. In the developing red spathes of 'Tropical' and 'Vitara', the expression of AaMYB2 was closely linked to anthocyanin accumulation, and co-expressed with AaCHS, AaF3H, and AaANS, the latter two of which were regarded as the potential targets of the R locus encoding a TF controlling spathe colors inheritance in anthurium. In addition, the transcription level of AaMYB2 in various cultivars with different color phenotypes showed that AaMYB2 was drastically expressed in the spathes from the red, pink, and purple cultivars, but hardly detected in the spathes from the white and green ones. Besides, AaMYB2 also showed higher expression in newly developmental leaves when anthocyanin was actively biosynthesized. Taken together, AaMYB2 positively related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in anthurium spathes and leaves, and appeared to regulate the expression of AaF3H, AaANS, and possibly AaCHS.
