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

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is a rapidly spreading pathogen that poses a significant threat to tomato production worldwide. We previously identified a locus on tomato chromosome 11 controlling tolerance to the virus. We further established that combining this locus with one that maps to the Tm-1 region on chromosome 2 confers resistance to the virus. Here we sought to determine whether, and how, the Tm-1 gene itself is involved in ToBRFV resistance. Overexpression of Tm-1 in a tolerant genotype significantly reduced viral accumulation, conferring resistance to ToBRFV. On the other hand, overexpression of Tm-1 in a susceptible genotype only delayed symptom appearance. Moreover, effective RNAi-silencing of Tm-1 in the resistant genotype yielded susceptible plants. These findings show that the Tm-1 gene interacts genetically with the locus controlling tolerance on chromosome 11 and that this interaction is critical for achieving effective resistance to ToBRFV. In addition, the symptomatic plants obtained following silencing of Tm-1 in the resistant genotype indicate that tolerance is also dependent on normal expression levels of the recessive tm-1 allele.
