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

key messageMicrospore degeneration at the tetrad stage is associated with tapetum degeneration retardation. Some genes and proteins related to cell senescence and death are the key factors for pollen abortion. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is a major floriculture crop in the world, but pollen contamination is an urgent problem to be solved in chrysanthemum production. C. morifolium 'Kingfisher' is a chrysanthemum cultivar that does not contain any pollen in mature anthers, thus it is a very important material for developing chrysanthemum without pollen contamination. However, the mechanism of its pollen abortion remains unclear. In this study, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of 'Kingfisher' pollen abortion were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, RNA sequencing, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation, and bioinformatics. It was found that the meiosis of microspore mother cells was normal before the tetrad stage, the microspores began to degenerate at the tetrad stage, and no microspores were observed in the anthers after the tetrad stage. In addition, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses showed that some genes and proteins related to cell senescence and death were identified to be implicated in chrysanthemum pollen abortion. These results indicated that the tetrad stage was the main period of pollen abortion, and the genes and proteins related to cell senescence and death contributed to pollen abortion. These add to our understanding of chrysanthemum pollen abortion and will be helpful for development of flowers without pollen contamination in the future.
