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

Cryopreservation is an important tool for long-term storage of plant germplasm that is currently used for plant germplasm storage at many institutes worldwide. Recently, novel cryogenic procedures (V and D cryo-plate methods) have been developed. In this study, the most suitable conditions for preserving blueberry shoot tips derived from in vitro and current shoots using the D cryo-plate method were investigated. The D cryo-plate method has advantages such as higher regrowth after cryopreservation and a more user-friendly process compared with conventional cryogenic methods. The optimum duration of desiccation for regrowth of shoot tips from each shoot type was 1 h. To induce dehydration tolerance for the shoot tips, the effects of two cryoprotection treatments (sucrose preculture and loading solution [LS] treatment) on shoot regrowth after cryopreservation were investigated. The combined effect of both treatments significantly increased percentage regrowth (approximately 90%). No regrowth of shoot tips was attained without the two treatments. Thus, preculture and LS treatment were effective to induce dehydration tolerance for cryopreservation of blueberry shoot tips. The optimized conditions for blueberry shoot tips using the D cryo-plate technique were: preculture with 0.3 M sucrose for 1 day, LS treatment (2 M glycerol +0.4-1.0 M sucrose) for 30 min, and air dehydration for 1 h. This optimized procedure was applied to additional blueberry cultivars shoot tips derived from in vitro shoots (regrowth 46.7-100%) and current shoots (regrowth 17.2-62.7%). Furthermore, in vitro shoot tips were suitable material for the D cryo-plate method in blueberry.
