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.
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
key messageThe isolated yft1 allele controls the formation of fruit color in n3122 via the regulation of response to ethylene, carotenoid accumulation and chromoplast development. Fruit color is one of the most important quality traits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and is closely associated with both nutritional and market value. In this study, we characterized a tomato fruit color mutant n3122, named as yellow-fruited tomato 1 (yft1), which produces yellow colored mature fruit. Fruit color segregation of the progeny from an intra-specific cross (M82 × n3122) and an inter-specific cross (n3122 × LA1585) revealed that a single recessive nuclear gene determined the yellow fruit phenotype. Through map-based cloning, the yft1 locus was assigned to an 88.2 kb region at the top of chromosome 9 that was annotated as containing 12 genes. Sequencing revealed that one gene, Solyc09g007870, which encodes ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE2 (EIN2), contained two mutations in yft1: a 13 bp deletion and a 573 bp insertion at position -318 bp upstream of the translation initiation site. We detected that EIN2 expression was substantially lower in yft1 than in the red-fruited M82 wild type and that, in addition, carotenoid accumulation was decreased, ethylene synthesis and perception were impaired and chromoplast development was delayed. The results implied that the reduced expression of EIN2 in yft1 leads to suppressed ethylene signaling which results in abnormal carotenoid production.
