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

Transcriptomic studies have proven powerful and effective as a tool to study the molecular underpinnings of plant development. Still, it remains challenging to disentangle cell- or tissue-specific transcriptomes in complex structures like the plant seed. In particular, the embryo of flowering plants is embedded in the endosperm, a nurturing tissue, which, in turn, is enclosed by the maternal seed coat. Here, we describe laser-assisted microdissection (LAM) to isolate highly pure embryo tissue from whole seeds. This technique is applicable to virtually any plant seed, and we illustrate the use of LAM to isolate embryos from species of the Boechera and Solanum genera. LAM is a tool that will greatly help to increase the repertoires of tissue-specific transcriptomes, including those of embryos and parts thereof, in nonmodel plants.
