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 messageTransposon insertion and point mutation independently activated the BoMYB2 gene in three purple cultivars of Brassica oleracea including kale, kohlrabi, and cabbage. Several varieties of B. oleracea have both green and purple cultivars. In this study, the causal genes for the purple traits in kale, kohlrabi and cabbage were cloned using map-based cloning approach. The purple traits in all three varieties were mapped to the same locus as the BoMYB2 gene in cauliflower. Surprisingly, the insertion of Harbinger transposon of BoMYB2 in cauliflower was not found in purple kale, kohlrabi and cabbage. Sequencing of the BoMYB2 gene in purple kale and purple kohlrabi discovered a 7606 bp CACTA-like transposon in its promoter region. Transient assay and promoter activity study showed that the insertion upregulated the expression of the BoMYB2 gene. On the other hand, the activation of the BoMYB2 gene in purple cabbage was caused by point mutation and/or 1-bp insertion in its promoter region. Sequence analysis of the BoMYB2 gene in different varieties suggested that the activating events most likely occurred independently after the divergence of cabbage, cauliflower, and kale/kohlrabi. Our results not only contribute to a better understanding of anthocyanin inheritance in B. oleracea, but also provide useful information for future hybrid breeding of purple cultivars through combination of different functional alleles of the BoMYB2 gene.
