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

Impatiens morsei is an annual or perennial flower that is a member of the Impatiens genus in the Balsaminaceae family, with pink flowers and dark purple spots on the vexil and wing petals, which is important for the study of new flower colors of Balsaminaceae. However, there has been no study on the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway and carotenoid biosynthesis pathway of I. morsei and the mechanism of its pigment formation is still unclear. Transcriptome sequencing of spotted and non-spotted regions was performed using the petals of I. morsei at full bloom as test material. The results showed that (1) After transcriptome sequencing, 39,917 unigene sequences and 39,110 differentially expressed genes were obtained, and the number of genes that are down-expressed was higher than genes that are up-expressed. (2) Three key genes in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, FLS, PAL, and CHS1, were screened out. Additionally, two key genes in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, ABA1 and CCS, were identified. Furthermore, two regulatory genes, MSI4 and CPC, were also selected.and analyzed the spatiotemporal expression patterns of these seven genes. The results of this study lay a theoretical foundation for the study of the formation mechanism of floral spots in I. morsei.
