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

Increasing pressure on limited water resources for agriculture, together with the global temperature increase, highlight the importance of breeding for drought-tolerant cultivars. A better understanding of the molecular nature of drought stress can be expected through the use of genomics approaches. Here, a macroarray of approximately 2500 maize cDNAs was used for determining transcript changes during water- and salt-stress treatments of developing kernels at 15 days after pollination. Normalization of relative transcript abundances was carried out using a human nebulin control sequence. The proportions of transcripts that changed significantly in abundance upon treatment (>2-fold compared to the control) were determined; 1.5% of the sequences examined were up-regulated by high salinity and 1% by water stress. Both stresses induced 0.8% of the sequences. These include genes involved in various stress responses: abiotic, wounding and pathogen attack (abscisic acid response binding factor, glycine and proline-rich proteins, pathogenesis-related proteins, etc.). The proportion of down-regulated genes was higher than that for up-regulated genes for water stress (3.2%) and lower for salt stress (0.7%), although only eight genes, predominantly involved in energy generation, were down-regulated in both stress conditions. Co-expression of genes of unknown function under defined conditions may help in elucidating their roles in coordinating stress responses.
