Comparative statistical component analysis of transgenic, cyanophycin-producing potatoes in greenhouse and field trials.
Article in Transgenic research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Potatoes are a promising system for industrial production of the biopolymer cyanophycin as a second compound in addition to starch. To assess the efficiency in the field, we analysed the stability of the system, specifically its sensitivity to environmental factors. Field and greenhouse trials with transgenic potatoes (two independent events) were carried out for three years. The influence of environmental factors was measured and target compounds in the transgenic plants (cyanophycin, amino acids) were analysed for differences to control plants. Furthermore, non-target parameters (starch content, number, weight and size of tubers) were analysed for equivalence with control plants. The huge amount of data received was handled using modern statistical approaches to model the correlation between influencing environmental factors (year of cultivation, nitrogen fertilization, origin of plants, greenhouse or field cultivation) and key components (starch, amino acids, cyanophycin) and agronomic characteristics. General linear models were used for modelling, and standard effect sizes were applied to compare conventional and genetically modified plants. Altogether, the field trials prove that significant cyanophycin production is possible without reduction of starch content. Non-target compound composition seems to be equivalent under varying environmental conditions. Additionally, a quick test to measure cyanophycin content gives similar results compared to the extensive enzymatic test. This work facilitates the commercial cultivation of cyanophycin potatoes.
