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

backgroundMetabolomics is one of the most widely used omics tools for deciphering the functional networks of the metabolites for crop improvement. However, it is technically demanding and costly.

resultsWe propose a relatively inexpensive approach for metabolomics analysis in which metabolomics is combined with hyperspectral imaging via machine learning. This approach can be used to target important steps in flavonoid and lipid biosynthesis in rice. We extract 1848 hyperspectral indices and 887 metabolites from polished grains of 533 Oryza sativa accessions. Hyperspectral indices are then linked to metabolites through correlation analysis and modelling. Based on this, a total of 554 metabolites and 1313 hyperspectral indices are identified for further genome-wide association study (GWAS). By GWAS, we detect 17,509 significant locus-trait associations with 2882 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Colocalization analysis links these SNPs to the corresponding metabolites and hyperspectral indices. We detect 6415 pairs of metabolites and hyperspectral indices within a linkage disequilibrium of 300 kb in the Oryza sativa genome. We then characterize 1761 candidate genes colocalized to these loci by transcriptomic analysis. We further verify novel candidate genes encoding a novel flavonoid (LOC_Os09g18450) and a flavonoid/lipid (LOC_Os07g11020) respectively by gene editing and overexpression in rice.

conclusionOur findings indicate that hyperspectral imaging combined with machine learning methods could serve as a powerful tool for quickly and inexpensively assessing crop metabolites.
