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

Fruit set is a developmental transition from ovaries to fruitlets that determines yield potential. Cell wall invertase (CWIN) is essential for fruit and seed set, but the underlying molecular basis remains elusive. We addressed this issue by using CWIN-elevated transgenic tomato, focusing on ovaries and fruitlets at 2 d before and after anthesis, respectively. RNAseq analyses revealed that ovaries and fruitlets exhibited remarkable differences in their transcriptomic responses to elevated CWIN activity. Ovaries 2 d before anthesis were far more responsive to elevated CWIN activity compared with the fruitlets. We identified several previously unknown pathways that were up-regulated by elevated CWIN activity during fruit set. The most notable of these were expression of genes for defence, ethylene synthesis and the cell cycle along with a large number of cell wall-related genes. By contrast, expression of photosynthetic, protein degradation and some receptor-like kinase genes were generally decreased as compared with the wild type ovaries. GC-MS analyses revealed that 22 out of 24 amino acids exhibited reduced levels in the RNAi ovaries as compared with that in the wild type, probably owing to a down-regulated expression of protein degradation genes. Overall, the data indicate that (i) ovaries are much more sensitive to metabolic intervention than fruitlets; (ii) high CWIN activity could promote fruit set by improving resistance against pathogens and altering cell cycle and cell wall synthesis.
