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

Carrot (Daucus carota), an Apiaceae family crop, possesses the typical compound umbellate inflorescence with small flowers. The mechanism of carrot floral development is still unknown. APETALA3 (AP3) is a MADS-box transcription factor that primarily participates in stamen and petal development. In this study, DcMADS3 belonging to the APETALA3 group was cloned, which can form a heterodimer with DcMADS2 belonging PI (PISTILLATA) group. Expression analysis revealed DcMADS3 was higher in 'Kurodagosun' (normal flower, KRD) than 'Deep Purple' ('petaloid' CMS phenotype, DPP) at the middle flower bud stage. Its expression was greater in DPP petals (normal petal and petaloid petal) than in KRD petals, suggesting its potential role in regulating petalization development in carrot. Transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing DcMADS3 resulted in altered petal size, increased petal number, and altered flower symmetry. Furthermore, yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) library screening identified DcXTH-like (DCAR_009699) as a potential factor binding to the DcMADS3 promoter. These results provided a theoretical foundation for further investigation of carrot floral organ development mechanism.
