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

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the world's most important staple and cash crops. Despite accumulating genetic and transcriptomic data, low transformation efficiency in agronomically important Musa spp. render translational researches in banana difficult by using conventional knockout approaches. To develop tools for translational research in bananas, we developed a virus induced-gene silencing (VIGS) system based on a banana-infecting cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) isolate, CMV 20. CMV 20 genomic RNA 1, 2, and 3, were separately cloned in Agrobacterium pJL89 binary vectors, and a cloning site was introduced on RNA 2 immediately after the 2a open reading frame to insert the gene targeted for silencing. An efficient Agrobacterium inoculation method was developed for banana, which enabled the CMV 20 VIGS vector infection rate to reach 95% in our experiments. CMV 20-based silencing of Musa acuminata cv. Cavendish (AAA group) glutamate 1-semialdehyde aminotransferase (MaGSA) produced a typical chlorotic phenotype and silencing of M. acuminata phytoene desaturase (MaPDS) produced a photobleachnig phenotype. We show this approach efficiently reduced GSA and PDS transcripts to 10% and 18% of the control, respectively. The high infection rate and extended silencing of this VIGS system will provide an invaluable tool to accelerate functional genomic studies in banana.
