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

Tea trichomes synthesize numerous specialized metabolites to protect plants from environmental stresses and contribute to tea flavours, but little is known about the regulation of trichome development. Here, we showed that CsMYB1 is involved in the regulation of trichome formation and galloylated cis-catechins biosynthesis in tea plants. The variations in CsMYB1 expression levels are closely correlated with trichome indexes and galloylated cis-catechins contents in tea plant populations. Genome resequencing showed that CsMYB1 may be selected in modern tea cultivars, since a 192-bp insertion in CsMYB1 promoter was found exclusively in modern tea cultivars but not in the glabrous wild tea Camellia taliensis. Several enhancers in the 192-bp insertion increased CsMYB1 transcription in modern tea cultivars that coincided with their higher galloylated cis-catechins contents and trichome indexes. Biochemical analyses and transgenic data showed that CsMYB1 interacted with CsGL3 and CsWD40 and formed a MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) transcriptional complex to activate the trichome regulator genes CsGL2 and CsCPC, and the galloylated cis-catechins biosynthesis genes anthocyanidin reductase and serine carboxypeptidase-like 1A. CsMYB1 integratively regulated trichome formation and galloylated cis-catechins biosynthesis. Results suggest that CsMYB1, trichome and galloylated cis-catechins are coincidently selected during tea domestication by harsh environments for improved adaption and by breeders for better tea flavours.
