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

Unraveling gene function is crucial for enhancing quality traits in commercially cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) through biotechnology. However, such analysis is hindered by the complexity of the octoploid genome (2n = 8x = 56) of F. × ananassa. In this study, we leveraged the ancestral wild strawberry species Fragaria vesca as an experimental model and developed an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-based leaf infiltration (agroinfiltration) technique to elucidate the functions of genes and regulatory sequences in strawberry. We transiently expressed genes encoding transcriptional regulators that govern floral organ development in F. vesca leaf cells, allowing us to investigate the underlying regulatory mechanisms through in planta gene expression and transactivation assays. Our agroinfiltration method serves as a practical tool for studying the activities of genes controlling economically important traits in strawberry.
