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

key messageAgrobacterium-mediated transformation allowed the establishment of the VIGS system based on the TRV for specific marker genes, Cte-PDS and Cte-chlH, in C. tenuiflora, a hemiparasitic plant. Castilleja tenuiflora Benth. (Orobanchaceae) is a medicinal and hemiparasitic plant recognized for its specialized metabolism. Genetic transformation systems are valuable for gene function analysis and understanding the regulation of the biosynthetic pathways of bioactive molecules. Here, we present two efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols, defined as "transformation by injection" (Ti-AI) and "transformation by cocultivation" (Tc-AII). For both methods, two strains of A. tumefaciens were used: PCH32 and C58C1. These strains harbored a binary expression vector containing β-glucuronidase (GUS) as a reporter gene. The putative transformants tested positive in the GUS histochemical staining assay, which was confirmed via PCR. Tc-AII showed a higher transformation efficiency (Ti-AI: 23 vs. Tc-AII: 65%) although Ti-AI generated the highest survival rate of the putative transformants (Ti-AI: 75 vs. Tc-AII: 37%). Tc-AII-C58C1 was used to evaluate a VIGS system based on pTRV. Vectors were constructed with phytoene desaturase (Cte-PDS) and protoporphyrin magnesium chelatase subunit H (Cte-chlH) genes. Successful VIGS was demonstrated by gene silencing observed across various growth stages of C. tenuiflora when pTRV
