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

Incorporating male sterility into hybrid seed production reduces its cost and ensures high varietal purity. Despite these advantages, male-sterile lines have not been widely used to produce tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) hybrid seeds. We describe the development of a biotechnology-based breeding platform that utilized genic male sterility to produce hybrid seeds. In this platform, we generated a novel male-sterile tomato line by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-mediated mutagenesis of a stamen-specific gene SlSTR1 and devised a transgenic maintainer by transforming male-sterile plants with a fertility-restoration gene linked to a seedling-colour gene. Offspring of crosses between a hemizygous maintainer and the homozygous male-sterile plant segregated into 50% non-transgenic male-sterile plants and 50% male-fertile maintainer plants, which could be easily distinguished by seedling colour. This system has great practical potential for hybrid seed breeding and production as it overcomes the problems intrinsic to other male-sterility systems and can be easily adapted for a range of tomato cultivars and diverse vegetable crops.
