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

objectiveSoybean seeds are an important source of vegetable proteins for both food and industry worldwide. Conglycinins (7S) and glycinins (11S), which are two major families of storage proteins encoded by a small family of genes, account for about 70% of total soy seed protein. Mutant alleles of these genes are often necessary in certain breeding programs, as the relative abundance of these protein subunits affect amino acid composition and soy food properties. In this study, we set out to test the efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in editing soybean storage protein genes using Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation system.

resultsWe designed and tested sgRNAs to target nine different major storage protein genes and detected DNA mutations in three storage protein genes in soybean hairy roots, at a ratio ranging from 3.8 to 43.7%. Our work provides a useful resource for future soybean breeders to engineer/develop varieties with mutations in seed storage proteins.
