Distinctive acidity in citrus fruit is linked to loss of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis.

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
The distinctive acidity of citrus fruit is determined by a regulatory complex of MYB and bHLH transcription factors together with a WDR protein (MBW complex) which operates in the unique juice vesicles of the fruit. We describe a mutation affecting the MYB protein, named Nicole, in sweet orange and identify its target genes that determine hyperacidification, specifically. We propose that the acidity, typical of citrus fruits, was the result of a loss of the ability of Nicole to activate the gene encoding anthocyanidin reductase, an enzyme essential for the synthesis of proanthocyanidins, which are absent in citrus fruit.
