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

Cleistogenes songorica, a grass species that exhibits two spatially different type of inflorescence, chastogamy (CH), flowers localized at the top, and cleistogamy (CL) flowers embedded in leaf sheath. This study aimed at dissecting reasons underlying these distinct floral development patterns at morphological and microRNA level. Phenotyping for CH and CL was conducted and four small RNA libraries were constructed from the CH and CL flowers for high-throughput sequencing to identify the differentiated miRNAs. As results, spikelet, stigma, anther, lemma and lodicule length of CH flowers were found larger than that of CL, and so was seed setting. Also, 17 flower-related differential expression miRNAs were identified which were associated with floral organ development and morphogenesis, and the flower development. Further results showed that miR159a.1-CL3996.Contig2 pair was related to anther development, miR156a-5p-CL1954.Contig2 was linked to response to high light intensity, miR408-3p/miR408d-Unigene429 was related to pollination and Unigene429 positively regulated flower development. To our knowledge, this is the first study on differential miRNA accumulation between CH and CL flowers and our study serves as a foundation to the future elucidation of regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in the divergent development of CL and CH flowers in a single plant.
