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

Plant biotechnology can be used to conserve the germplasm of natural forests, and to increase the productivity and sustainability of plantations. Both goals imply working with mature trees, which are often recalcitrant to micropropagation. Conventional in vitro culture uses closed containers and gelled medium with sugar supplementation. Bioreactor culture uses liquid medium and usually incorporates aeration. The increased absorption of nutrients via the liquid medium together with the renewal of the air inside the bioreactors may improve the physiological state of the explants. In this review, we will explore the feasibility of using bioreactors to overcome the recalcitrance of many trees to micropropagation and/or to decrease the cost of large-scale propagation. We will focus on the recent use of bioreactors during the multiplication, rooting (plant conversion in the case of somatic embryos), and acclimation stages of the micropropagation of axillary shoots and somatic embryos of forest trees (including some shrubs of commercial interest), in both temporary and continuous immersion systems. We will discuss the advantages and the main obstacles limiting the widespread implementation of bioreactor systems in woody plant culture, considering published scientific reports and contributions from the business sector.
