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

Fragrance in rice grains is a key quality trait determining its acceptability and marketability. Intensive research on rice aroma identified mutations in betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (OsBADH2) leading to production of aroma in rice. Gene editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas9 system has opened new avenues for accelerated improvement of rice grain quality through targeted mutagenesis. In this study, we have employed CRISPR/Cas9 tool to create novel alleles of OsBADH2 leading to introduction of aroma into an elite non-aromatic rice variety ASD16. PCR analysis of putative transformants using primers targeting the flanking regions of sgRNA in the 7th exon of OsBADH2 identified 37.5% potential multi-allelic mutations in T0 generation. Sensory evaluation test in the leaves of T0 lines identified thirteen lines belonging to five independent events producing aroma. Sequence analysis of these aromatic T0 lines identified 22 different types of mutations located within -17 bp to +15bp of sgRNA region. The -1/-2 bp deletion in the line # 8-19 and -8/-5 bp deletion in the line # 2-16 produced strong aroma and the phenotype was stably inherited in the T1 generation. Comparative volatile profiling detected novel aromatic compounds viz., pyrrolidine, pyridine, pyrazine, pyradazine and pyrozole in the grains of T1 progenies of line # 8-19. This study has demonstrated the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in creating novel alleles of OsBADH2 to introduce aroma into any non-aromatic rice varieties.
