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

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) market classes have distinct seed coat colors, which are directly related to the diverse flavonoids found in the mature seed coat. To understand and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of seed coat color, RNA-Seq data was collected from the black bean 5-593 and used for a differential gene expression and enrichment analysis from four different seed coat color development stages. 5-593 carries dominant alleles for 10 of the 11 major genes that control seed coat color and expression and has historically been used to develop introgression lines used for seed coat genetic analysis. Pairwise comparison among the four stages identified 6,294 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) varying from 508 to 5,780 DEGs depending on the compared stages. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis revealed that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction comprised the principal pathways expressed during bean seed coat pigment development. Transcriptome analysis suggested that most structural genes for flavonoid biosynthesis and some potential regulatory genes were significantly differentially expressed. Further studies detected 29 DEGs as important candidate genes governing the key enzymatic flavonoid biosynthetic pathways for common bean seed coat color development. Additionally, four gene models, Pv5-593.02G016100, 593.02G078700, Pv5-593.02G090900, and Pv5-593.06G121300, encode MYB-like transcription factor family protein were identified as strong candidate regulatory genes in anthocyanin biosynthesis which could regulate the expression levels of some important structural genes in flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. These findings provide a framework to draw new insights into the molecular networks underlying common bean seed coat pigment development.
