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

Flowering time is known to be regulated by numerous pathways, such as the autonomous, gibberellin, aging, photoperiod-mediated, and vernalization pathways. These regulatory mechanisms involve both environmental triggers and endogenous hormonal cues. Additional flowering control mechanisms mediated by other phytohormones, such as auxin, are less well understood. We found that in cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), the expression of auxin response factor4 (FaARF4) was higher in the flowering stage than in the vegetative stage. Overexpression of FaARF4 in Arabidopsis thaliana and woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) resulted in transgenic plants flowering earlier than control plants. In addition, FveARF4-silenced strawberry plants showed delayed flowering compared to control plants, indicating that FaARF4 and FveARF4 function similarly in regulating flowering. Further studies showed that ARF4 can bind to the promoters of the floral meristem identity genes APETALA1 (AP1) and FRUITFULL (FUL), inducing their expression and, consequently, flowering in woodland strawberry. Our studies reveal an auxin-mediated flowering pathway in strawberry involving the induction of ARF4 expression.
