Double lysis: an integrative time-saving method yielding high-quality RNA from strawberry.
Article in Journal, genetic engineering & biotechnology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe isolation of high-quality RNA from strawberry leaves and fruits is notoriously cumbersome. Both tissues are extremely rich in active secondary metabolites, as phenolics and pigments that inevitably perturb the isolation of RNA. Many protocols have been developed to address this problem. However, they are either costly, or time-consuming, in particular for high number of many plant samples. We describe here a new method with an easy-to-handle approach to obtain high-quality RNA from strawberry leaves and fruits. The method, referred to as double lysis, uses a novel combination of CTAB and Trizol protocols.
resultsCompared to conventional Trizol-dependent protocols, either used individually, or in a commercial spin-column kit, the new method yields RNA at lower costs, but of significantly improved quality. The RNA obtained by double lysis was very pure as indicated by 260/280 ratios of 2.06 (leaves) and 2.07 (fruits), while 260/230 ratio was 2.07 and 1.75, respectively. Also visually, RNA sediments from double lysis showed a white color, indicative of efficient elimination of polyphenolics and pigments. In contrast, traditional Trizol method produced reddish precipitates. The purity of RNA isolated by double lysis enabled successful removal of genomic DNA and, thus, allowed for more efficient cDNA synthesis and RT-PCR. In addition, the suggested method is able to yield RNA with fully preserved integrity from strawberry leaves, fruits in addition to petals and roots.
conclusionDouble lysis is a new RNA isolation protocol developed through the integrative coupling of CTAB and Trizol reagents. The method is cost-effective, robust, time-saving, and can cope even with recalcitrant plant tissues with high contents of phenolics and pigments, such as strawberry leaves and fruits.
