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

The Solanaceae family, which includes key crops such as tomato, pepper, eggplant, wolfberry, and groundcherry, is distinguished by its diversity of fruit types. However, the conservation of gene expression regulatory networks across different species remains poorly understood. This study utilizes comparative transcriptomics to analyze 293 transcriptome samples from 22 Solanaceae species, focusing on the expression profiles of reproductive organ (flower and fruit)-specific genes. Our results reveal evolutionary conservation in the expression patterns of these genes, particularly within regulatory pathways essential for plant reproduction. A detailed comparative analysis of gene expression patterns between tomato and pepper reveals common regulatory networks governing fruit development. Furthermore, through co-expression network analysis, we identified functional partners of YABBY in flower/fruit development and found that YABBY genes coordinate fruit development through spatiotemporal dynamic expression, shaping its regulatory role. These findings provide valuable insights that can guide future research on fruit development genes in Solanaceae species.
