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

Fruit color is a crucial trait for bell pepper. To investigate the mechanism of color formation, three bell pepper lines with different color (yellow, orange and red) were used as materials to conduct comprehensive targeted metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses. During the process of fruit development, 54 carotenoids metabolites were discovered, exhibiting unique accumulation patterns and notable variety specificity. The types and content of carotenoids in orange fruit (OM) were notably greater compared to the other two varieties. Red pigment (capsanthin and capsorubin) was specifically enriched in red fruit (RM), and yellow pigment (lutein and zeaxanthin) is the highest in yellow fruit (YM) and OM. Five modules positively correlated with carotenoid accumulation and one negative module was determined by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Additionally, transcription factors (TFs) and hub genes related to carotenoid synthesis were predicted. By elucidating the regulation of 7 key carotenoid metabolites by 14 critical genes and 5 key TFs, we constructed a comprehensive carotenoid biosynthesis metabolic network that comprehensively explains the pigment changes observed in green and mature pepper fruit. Overall, the results not only provide important insights into carotenoid synthesis pathway, but also lay a solid base for revealing the mechanism of bell pepper color transformation.
