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

backgroundLilium callosum is native to Taiwan, but little is known about it since it has been considered extinct since 1915. After the rediscovery of this rare species after a fire in 2011 in Tunghsiao Township, intensive work has been conducted to count the number in the wild population, to develop a conservation strategy, and to understand its reproductive characteristics and even economic potential.

resultsTo conserve the germplasm of this population, three scales from a wild L. callosum plant were collected to establish a mass propagation system. Flowers from two regenerated plants were crossed by hand-pollination, the ovules were rescued and cultured in vitro, and 10 offspring were obtained. The karyotype was determined to be 2n = 2x = 24 = 2m + 2m(sat) + 2sm + 8st + 10t. The phylogenetic analysis using ITS sequences revealed that the sample of L. callosum from Taiwan was not grouped with the other accessions of L. callosum from other regions. The native habitat is classified as grass-dominated vegetation at the early successional stage and a subtropical monsoon-type climate. To clarify the causes of population scarcity in the native environment, reproductive characteristics of regenerated plants were investigated.

conclusionsBased on the information from this study, it is possible that factors intrinsic to L. callosum could combine to limit pollination and seed formation. The L. callosum pollen only germinated at a temperature that was higher than the native environment, the plants are self-incompatibile, there was a and scarce population, scattered flowering time and dichogamy. Through the culture of these wild harvested parts, the diversity of the germplasm has been broadened and is now available to preserve this rare and valuable species for the future.
