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

Anthocyanin biosynthesis is a highly branched network with upstream mutations leading to the loss of many other branches beyond just anthocyanins like flavonols, isoflavonoids, and proanthocyanidins. Consequently, disentangling the specific effects of anthocyanins on plant fitness from those of other branches is difficult unless a mutant impacting the terminal step of anthocyanin biosynthesis can be found. We discovered an Ipomoea hederacea plant (Ivy-leaf morning glory) lacking anthocyanins due to a genetic deletion in the terminal step of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. Anthocyanin loss follows a recessive, Mendelian inheritance pattern. Anthocyanin loss is perfectly correlated with a lack of expression of the anthocyanin biosynthesis gene IhUF3GT1 (anthocyanidin-3-O-glucosyltransferase). IhUF3GT1 is the gene most strongly and consistently differentially expressed between unpigmented and pigmented flowers in F
