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

A vast variety of inflorescence architectures have evolved in angiosperms. Here, we analyze the diversity and development of the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) inflorescence. Contrary to historical classifications, we show that it is a closed thyrse: a compound inflorescence with determinate primary monopodial axis and lateral sympodial branches, thus combining features of racemes and cymes. We demonstrate that this architecture is generated by 2 types of inflorescence meristems differing in their geometry. We further show that woodland strawberry homologs of TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (FvTFL1) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FvFT1) regulate the development of both the racemose and cymose components of the thyrse. Loss of functional FvTFL1 reduces the number of lateral branches of the main axis and iterations in the lateral branches but does not affect their cymose pattern. These changes can be enhanced or compensated by altering FvFT1 expression. We complement our experimental findings with a computational model that captures inflorescence development using a small set of rules. The model highlights the distinct regulation of the fate of the primary and higher-order meristems, and explains the phenotypic diversity among inflorescences in terms of heterochrony resulting from the opposite action of FvTFL1 and FvFT1 within the thyrse framework. Our results represent a detailed analysis of thyrse architecture development at the meristematic and molecular levels.
