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

Autotetraploid rice exhibited hybrid vigor and greater genetic variation compared to diploid rice, but low pollen fertility is a major hindrance for its utilization. Our previous analysis revealed that large number of pollen fertility genes were exhibited down-regulation in autotetraploid rice. Hence, it is of utmost importance to reveal the expression patterns of pollen fertility genes with high accuracy. To find stable reference genes for autotetraploid rice, we compared the pollen development stages between diploid and autotetraploid rice, and 14 candidate genes were selected based on transcriptome analysis to evaluate their expression levels. Autotetraploid rice (i.e. Taichung65-4x) displayed lower seed set (40.40%) and higher percentage of abnormalities during the pollen development process than its diploid counterpart. To detect the candidate reference genes for pollen development of autotetraploid and diploid rice, we used five different algorithms, including NormFinder, BestKeeper, ΔCt method, geNorm and Re-Finder to evaluate their expression patterns stability. Consequently, we identified two genes, Cytochrome b5 and CPI, as the best candidate reference genes for qRT-PCR normalization in autotetraploid and diploid rice during pre-meiosis, meiosis, single microspore and bicellular pollen development stages. However, Cytochrome b5 was found to be the most stably expressed gene during different pollen development stages in autotetraploid rice. The results of our study provide a platform for subsequent gene expression analyses in autotetraploid rice, which could also be used in other polyploid plants.
