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

A new protocol for in vitro regeneration through direct somatic embryogenesis for two muskmelon cultivars (Cucumis melo L., "Mashhadi" and "Eivanaki") is reported. Somatic embryos were obtained culturing 4- and 8-day-old cotyledons, seeds, and hypocotyls on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with three different hormonal combinations never tested so far for melon (naphthoxyacetic acid (NOA) + thidiazuron (TDZ), NOA + 6-banzylaminopurine (BAP), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) + N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea (4-CPPU)). Results were compared with those obtained when explants were cultivated in the presence of 2,4-D + BAP, previously used on melon. Embryogenesis occurred more successfully in 4-day-old cotyledons and seeds than hypocotyls and 8-day-old cotyledons. The best result was achieved with NOA + BAP. Genotypes significantly affected embryogenesis. The number of embryos in "Eivanaki" was significantly higher than that in "Mashhadi." Embryo proliferation when explants were maintained in jars (9.3%) was found to be higher compared to that in petri dishes. For the first time, genetic stability of regenerated melon plants was evaluated using inter-simple sequence repeat markers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products demonstrated a total of 102 well-resolved bands, and regenerants were 93% similar compared to the mother plant. Somaclonal changes during embryogenesis were evaluated by flow cytometry, showing 91% of the same patterns in regenerated plants. The results suggest that the new hormone components are effective when applied for in vitro embryogenesis of muskmelon as they show a high frequency in regeneration and genetic homogeneity.
