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

key messageTwo genetic loci, det-ma (CsCEN) and det-lb, showed epistatic interaction on indeterminate/determinate growth of LB in cucumber. CsSHBY was identified as the candidate gene for det-lb locus. Plant architecture depends on the spatial regulation of meristems from both main axis (MA) and lateral branches (LBs). Fate (indeterminate or determinate) of these meristems is a crucial source of architectural diversity determining crop productivity and management. CENTRORADIALIS/TERMINAL FLOWER 1/SELF-PRUNING (CETS) gene family have been well known as pivotal regulators for indeterminate/determinate growth of MA. Nevertheless, genes that regulate LB indeterminacy/determinacy remained unclear. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has typical monopodial growth and multiple lateral branches. Both MA and LBs had indeterminate or determinate growth, and indeterminate/determinate growth of LB was controlled by two distinct loci, det-ma (CsCEN) and det-lb. In our study, based on bulked segregant analysis (BSA) method, the det-lb locus was mapped on a 60.6 kb region on chromosome 1 harboring only one gene CsaV3_1G044330, which encoded a putative vacuolar-sorting protein (designated as CsSHBY). Multipoint mutations in CsSHBY were identified in D082 and D226, compared with CCMC, including nonsynonymous SNP mutations and a 6-bp deletion in exons. Further, qPCR showed that CsSHBY was highly expressed in lateral bud of CCMC, suggesting that CsSHBY might play an active role in regulating indeterminate/determinate growth of LB. Genetic analyses showed that det-ma (CsCEN) had an epistatic effect on det-lb (CsSHBY), and CsCEN could activate CsSHBY promoter by Dual luciferase and GUS activity assays. Meanwhile, Cscen or Csshby was found to influence auxin contents and CsYUCs and CsPINs expression levels. These findings provided new insights into precisely optimizing plant architecture for yield improvements.
