A suppressor screen of an Arabidopsis thaliana REDUCED COMPLEXITY (RCO)-expressing strain provides insight into the genetics of leaf margin complexity.

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.
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
The varied leaf morphologies of seed plants provide an attractive system for studying the development and evolution of biological forms. Here, we consider the genetic mechanisms underlying variation in leaf margin geometry, as leaves can bear protrusions ranging from shallow serrations to lobes to fully separated leaflets. Leaflet formation in the complex-leaved species Cardamine hirsuta requires the REDUCED COMPLEXITY (RCO) homeobox gene. RCO was lost in the lineage of its simple-leaved relative Arabidopsis thaliana, and re-introduction of ChRCO into A. thaliana as a transgene increases leaf complexity by triggering the generation of deep lobes in the leaf margin. As the genetic mechanisms for RCO-mediated outgrowth formation are only partially understood, we performed a mutagenesis screen for suppressors of lobe formation in A. thaliana plants harboring a ChRCO transgene. From this screen, we identified CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON 2 (CUC2), PIN-FORMED 1 (PIN1), CYCLOPHILIN 71 (CYP71), NUCLEOLAR PROTEIN 2A (NOP2A), RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L34 (RPL34), and RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN L10aB/PIGGYBACK1 (PGY1). We also showed that the C. hirsuta CYP71 gene is required for leaflet development, as the cyp71 mutant has simplified leaves. Our results suggest that CUC2-auxin-PIN1-mediated marginal patterning, the CYP71 gene, and ribosome biogenesis are required for RCO to drive increased leaf complexity.
