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

Reproduction is a critical stage in the flower development process, and its failure causes serious problems affecting fruit quality and yield. Pistil abortion is one of the main factors in unsuccessful reproduction and occurs in many fruit plants. In Japanese apricot, the problem of pistil abortion is very common and affects fruit quality and plant yield; however, its molecular mechanism is not clearly understood. Therefore, in the current study, we used RNA-Seq to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways actively involved in pistil abortion. A total of 3882 differentially expressed genes were found after cutoff and pairwise comparison analysis. According to KEGG pathway analysis, plant hormone signaling transduction and metabolic pathways were found most significantly enriched in this study. A total of 60 transcription factor families such as MADS-box, NAC and TCP showed their role in this process. RT-qPCR assays confirmed that the expression levels were consistent with RNA-Seq results. This study provides an alternative to be considered for further studies and understanding of pistil abortion processes in Japanese apricot, and it provides a reference related to this issue for other deciduous fruit crops.
