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

backgroundFlavonoid biosynthesis is strongly influenced by phytohormones. For example, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) enhances the flavonoid accumulation in pear. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the MeJA-induced flavonoid biosynthesis in pear is largely uncharacterized. Therefore, the transcriptome of pear calli treated with MeJA was analyzed to elucidate the mechanism regulating MeJA-mediated flavonoid biosynthesis.

resultsThe application of exogenous MeJA significantly enhanced flavonoid accumulation, especially anthocyanin, in pear calli. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified the differentially expressed genes associated with MeJA-induced flavonoid biosynthesis. The MeJA treatment upregulated the expression of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway structural genes (PcCHS, PcCHI, PcF3H, PcDFR, PcANS, PcANR2a, and PcLAR1). The MYB family members were the main transcription factors regulating the MeJA-induced flavonoid biosynthesis, but the bHLH, AP2-EREBP, NAC, WRKY, and TIFY families were also involved. In addition to PcMYB10, which is a known positive regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis in pear, several novel MYB candidates that may regulate flavonol and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis were revealed. Yeast two-hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays demonstrated that PcMYB10 and PcMYC2 can directly interact with each other and bind to JAZ repressors (PcJAZ1 and PcJAZ2).

conclusionsThe PcMYB10-PcMYC2 molecular complex is likely involved in the regulation of jasmonate-mediated flavonoid biosynthesis at the transcript level. The data generated in this study may clarify the transcriptional regulatory network associated with the MeJA-induced flavonoid accumulation in pear calli and provide a solid foundation for future studies.
