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

Background: Color transitions from green to purple in eggplant ( Methods: Here we performed an integrated transcriptomic analysis of mRNAs, lncRNAs and AS events to investigate fine regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis. Results: A PacBio assembly of the eggplant cultivar "Black Beauty" genome allowed the computational prediction and expression analysis of all transcripts in fruit peel and flower corolla. We identified 4, 126 lncRNAs and 34, 745 novel transcript isoforms, and tissue-specific regulatory networks revealed multiple lncRNAs and protein-coding genes AS events associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis. Quantification of anthocyanins in both peel and corolla enabled the construction of putative tissue-specific models of anthocyanin transcriptional regulation. Discussion: This study provides a starting point to improve the knowledge of fine-tuning anthocyanin regulation at the transcriptional level, highlighting tissue-specific lncRNAs and AS events linked to regulatory genes, and offering, to our knowledge, the first evidence of lncRNA involvement in anthocyanin biosynthesis in eggplant.
