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

Transposable elements (TEs) play an important role in shaping gene transcription regulatory networks and driving genome evolution. However, there is still little understanding for TE polymorphisms at the species level of rapeseed and their impacts on gene expression and phenotypic formation. This study systematically identified 8 268 255 TEs from 14 rapeseed genomes and constructed the first rapeseed pan-TE map and then obtained TE insertion polymorphisms (TIP) in 2311 oilseed rape accessions (Brassica napus). Integrative analysis of transcriptome data suggests TEs modulate transcription by diverse cis-regulatory mechanisms and 67% TEs related to nearby gene promote transcription. TE-GWAS identified 1427 TEs in 80 loci associated with 15 traits. Further multi-omics analysis identified a TE insertion in BnaA03.FLCb. suppresses its transcription and ultimately results in early flowering. Besides, one CACTA-like insertion in BnaA09.CYP78A9 reveals the regulatory mechanism how TE-derived cis-regulatory elements promote gene expression to regulate silique length. These results provide a TIP map at the species level and demonstrate that TEs play an important role in transcription regulatory and breeding improvement in rapeseed.
