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 messageIn our study, we demonstrated that histone acetylation promotes anthocyanin accumulation in pears by affecting the expression of key genes. Color is an important trait of horticultural plants, and the anthocyanin content directly affects the nutritional value and commercial value of colored fruits. Therefore, it is important for fruit breeding to cultivate new varieties with bright colors. 'Nanhong' (NH) pear (Pyrus ussuriensis) is a bud sport cultivar of 'Nanguo' (NG) pear. The anthocyanin content in NH pear is significantly higher than that in NG pear, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we observed that the anthocyanin biosynthesis structural gene PuUFGT (UDP-glucose: flavonoids 3-O-glucosyltransferase) and an anthocyanin transporter gene PuGSTF6 (glutathione S-transferase) had significantly higher expression levels in NH than in NG pears during the late stages of fruit development. Meanwhile, the R2R3-MYB transcription factor PuMYB110a was also highly expressed in NH pears and could positively regulate the transcription of PuUFGT and PuGSTF6. Overexpression of PuMYB110a in pear increased the fruit anthocyanin content. In addition, despite no significant differences in methylation levels being found in the promoters of PuMYB110a, PuUFGT, and PuGSTF6 when comparing the two varieties, the histone acetylation levels of PuMYB110a were significantly higher in NH pear compared with those in NG pear. Our findings suggest a mechanism for anthocyanin accumulation in NH fruit.
