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

Tomato, a globally consumed vegetable, possesses vast genetic diversity, making it suitable for genetic manipulation using various genetic improvement techniques. Tomatoes are grown extensively for their market value and health benefits, primarily contributed by enhanced yield and nutritional value respectively, influenced by floral and fruit traits. Floral morphology is maintained by genes involved in meristem size control, regulation of inflorescence transition, and pollen development. SP (SELF-PRUNING) and SP5G (SELF-PRUNING 5G) determine growth habit and flowering time. RIN (RIPENING INHIBITOR) and PG (POLYGALACTURONASE) are responsible for the shelf life of fruits. In addition to this, nutrition-enriched tomatoes have been developed in recent times. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the major genes influencing floral morphology, flowering time, fruit size, fruit shape, shelf life, and nutritional value, ultimately resulting in enhanced yield. Additionally, we address the advances in CRISPR/Cas9 applied for the genetic improvement of tomatoes along with prospects of areas in which research development in terms of tomato genetic improvement has to be advanced.
