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

ICE1 (Inducer of CBF Expression 1) of Arabidopsis thaliana is a transcription factor involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including stress responses and plant development. Recently, the regulatory role of ICE1 in the development of the male reproduction system was reported; the failure of the ICE1 mutant ice1-2 to carry out anther dehydration was observed to have resulted from impaired stomata development. In this study, we show that ICE1 influences anther and pollen development by facilitating timely tapetum degradation and nutrient mobilization. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that ice1-2 pollen grains exhibited disorganized cytoplasm and large vacuoles. Semi-thin sectioning of ice1-2 anthers from different developmental stages showed retarded anther dehiscence, defective pollen grains, and delayed tapetum degradation. In addition, ice1-2 exhibited altered sugar and lipid distribution patterns, suggesting that abnormal pollenkitt deposition results from impaired nutrient mobilization and defective tapetal degradation. Lastly, we also investigated and confirmed interactions between ICE1 and key regulators of tapetum and pollen development, DYT1 and AMS. Together, our observations suggest an additional role of ICE1 in anther and pollen development via the regulation of tapetum development, likely through the interactions of ICE1 and other transcription factors involved in tapetal and pollen development.
