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

Fruit development typically follows pollination and fertilisation. However, parthenocarpy, the formation of seedless fruits, represents an alternative pathway. The fruit that grows from the ovary under unpollinated and/or unfertilised conditions is termed parthenocarpic. This trait is not only desirable to consumers but also contributes to yield stability under adverse environmental conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that overexpression of miR156h regulates parthenocarpy under unpollinated conditions via a gibberellic acid (GA)-dependent pathway. MdSPL13B was found to be involved in MdmiR156h-modulated GA accumulation and parthenocarpy through directly binding to the promoters of MdKO, MdKAO2 and MdGA20ox. Furthermore, MdSPL13B was able to indirectly promote GA deactivation by binding to the promoter of MdMSI1, which mediates the histone modification of MdGA2ox8 and MdSPY. This study provides novel insight into the miR156-SPL-GA regulatory module in parthenocarpy.
