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

Mustard yield per plant is severely restricted by the seed number per silique. The seed number per silique in the Brassica juncea trilocular mutant J163-4 is significantly greater than that in normal bilocular plants. However, how the trilocular silique of J163-4 is formed remains unclear. Here, we studied the gene structure and function of mc2 in B. juncea and Arabidopsis using comparative morphology and molecular genetic experiments. We found that mc2 is a CLV1 ortholog, BjA7.CLV1. The deletion of cis-regulatory region in mc2 promoter, which affects Mc2 expression in carpel margin meristem (CMM), led to trilocular silique formation. The BjCLV1 sequence with its complete promoter containing the cis-regulatory region can restore the Bjclv1 and clv1 mutant phenotypes in B. juncea and Arabidopsis, respectively. Additionally, this cis-regulatory region had a collinear segment in the promoter of CLV1 homologous gene in most Brassicaceae species. Our results are consistent with the report that BjCLV1 represents a conserved pleiotropic role in shoot meristem and CMM development, which contains a cis-regulatory sequence specifically expressed BjCLV1 in CMM in its promoter, and this cis-regulatory region is conserved in Brassicaceae species. These results offer a reliable approach for fine-tuning the traits of seed yield in Brassicaceae crops.
