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

backgroundFruit size is a crucial economic trait that impacts the quality of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), however, research in this area remains limited. This study utilized two jujube cultivars with similar genetic backgrounds but differing fruit sizes to investigate the regulatory mechanisms affecting fruit size through cytological observations, transcriptome sequencing, and heterologous overexpression.

resultsThe findings reveal that variations in mesocarp cell numbers during early fruit development significantly influence final fruit size. Comparative transcriptome sequencing identified 16,778 differentially expressed genes across five developmental stages. Co-expression network analysis identified 16 co-expression modules. KEGG enrichment analysis of these modules indicated the significant role of plant hormone-related pathways in fruit development. A detailed analysis of the 'sky blue' module revealed candidate genes associated with the regulation of mesocarp cells, leading to the construction of a regulatory network. Heterologous overexpression of the candidate gene ZjZOG in tomato confirmed its positive role in fruit size enhancement. Transcriptomic analysis of these overexpression lines further validated the regulatory network and identified reliable candidate genes for fruit size control.

conclusionThis study provides valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms of fruit size, which may facilitate the breeding of larger jujube cultivars.
