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

Exploiting genetic variation for more efficient photosynthesis is an underexplored route towards new crop varieties. This study demonstrates the genetic dissection of higher plant photosynthesis efficiency down to the genomic DNA level, by confirming that allelic sequence variation at the Arabidopsis thaliana YELLOW SEEDLING1 (YS1) gene explains natural diversity in photosynthesis acclimation to high irradiance. We use a genome-wide association study to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in the Arabidopsis photosynthetic acclimation response. Candidate genes underlying the QTLs are prioritized according to functional clues regarding gene ontology, expression and function. Reverse genetics and quantitative complementation confirm the candidacy of YS1, which encodes a pentatrico-peptide-repeat (PPR) protein involved in RNA editing of plastid-encoded genes (anterograde signalling). Gene expression analysis and allele sequence comparisons reveal polymorphisms in a light-responsive element in the YS1 promoter that affect its expression, and that of its downstream targets, resulting in the variation in photosynthetic acclimation.
