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

Kiwifruit is a dioecious woody liana fruit tree, and the non-fruitfulness of male plants leads to a great deal of blindness in the selection of male plants in crossbreeding. In this study, we induced the development of male plant ovary by externally applying plant growth regulators (PGRs) and performed histological observation, phytohormone content determination and transcriptome analysis on the abortive ovary of the male kiwifruit (Con), the ovary of the female kiwifruit (Fem) and the PGR-induced developing ovary of the male kiwifruit (PT). Histological analysis showed that the Con ovary was devoid of ovules and the carpels were atrophied, the Fem ovary had ovules and the PT ovary was devoid of ovules, but the carpels developed normally and were not atrophied. Endogenous phytohormone content measurements displayed higher levels of trans-zeatin (tZT) in PT and Fem than Con, and lower levels of gibberellin (GA3) and abscisic acid (ABA) than Con. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant differences in many key genes in the cytokinin and auxin pathways, which were consistent with the results of phytohormone content measurements. Meanwhile, the genes related to carpel development, SPT (
