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.
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
Bud sports in fruit crops often result in new cultivars with unique traits, such as distinct fruit size and color, compared to their parent plants. This study investigates the phenotypic differences and gene expression patterns in Tonewase and Ohtanenashi persimmon bud sports compared to those in their parent, Hiratanenashi, based on RNA-seq data. Tonewase is characterized by early maturation, whereas Ohtanenashi is noted for its larger fruit size. Despite the importance of these traits in determining fruit quality, their molecular bases in persimmons have been understudied. We compared transcriptome-level differences during fruit development between the bud sport samples and their original cultivar. Comprehensive transcriptome analyses identified 15,814 differentially expressed genes and 26 modules via weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Certain modules exhibited unique expression patterns specific to the different cultivars during fruit development, likely contributing to the phenotypic differences observed. Specifically, M11, M16, M22, and M23 were uniquely expressed in Tonewase, whereas M13 and M24 showed distinct patterns in Ohtanenashi. By focusing on genes with distinct expression profiles, we aimed to uncover the genetic basis of cultivar-specific traits. Our findings suggest that changes in the expression of genes associated with ethylene and cell wall pathways may drive Tonewase's earlier maturation, whereas genes related to the cell cycle within the M24 module appear crucial for Ohtanenashi's larger fruit size. Additionally, ethylene and transcription factor genes within this module may contribute to the increased fruit size observed. This study elucidates the differences in transcriptomic changes during fruit development between the two bud sport samples and their original cultivar, enhancing our understanding of the genetic determinants influencing fruit size and maturation.
