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

The formation of multi-pistil flowers reduces the yield and quality in Japanese apricot (Prunus mume). However, the molecular mechanism underlying the formation of multi-pistil flowers remains unknown. In the current study, overexpression of PmKNAT2/6-a, a class I KNOTTED1-like homeobox (KNOX) member, in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) resulted in a multi-pistil phenotype. Analysis of the upstream regulators of PmKNAT2/6-a showed that AGAMOUS-like 24 (PmAGL24) could directly bind to the PmKNAT2/6-a promoter and regulate its expression. PmAGL24 also interacted with Like Heterochromatin Protein 1 (PmLHP1) to recruit lysine trimethylation at position 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) to regulate PmKNAT2/6-a expression, which is indirectly involved in multiple pistils formation in Japanese apricot flowers. Our study reveals that the PmAGL24 transcription factor, an upstream regulator of PmKNAT2/6-a, regulates PmKNAT2/6-a expression via direct and indirect pathways and is involved in the formation of multiple pistils in Japanese apricot.
