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

As a small fruit rich in anthocyanins, blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum × angustifolium) has become a focus of research in recent years for identifying genes related to anthocyanin transport and stress resistance mechanisms based on transcriptome sequencing. However, the lack of validated, stably expressed reference genes greatly limits the functional study of blueberry genes. Therefore, in this study, we selected 14 candidate reference genes from a blueberry transcriptome database and used three algorithms (geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper) to evaluate the expression stability of these genes in various organs at different fruit developmental stages under five abiotic stress conditions. EF1α, EIF and TBP were observed to be the most stable and were thus chosen as reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR. Measurement of the relative expression of VcMATE1 (European Nucleotide Archive accession number KF875433) in blueberry further verified the reliability of these reference genes, which may have great utility for determining the accuracy of gene expression analyses in future research on blueberry.
