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

Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) production is seriously affected by many fungal and bacterial diseases to which no resistant source is available in the cultivated germplasm. Degenerate primers based on conserved motifs of plant resistance (R) genes were used to isolate analogous sequences called resistance gene candidates (RGCs) from cultivated and wild Zingiber species. Cloning and sequence characterization identified 42 Zingiber RGCs, which could be classified into five classes following phenetic analysis. Deduced amino acid sequences of Zingiber RGCs showed strong identity, ranging from 16 to 43%, to non-toll interleukin receptor (non-TIR) R-gene subfamily. Non-synonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitution (dN/dS) ratio for the NBS domains of Zingiber RGC classes showed evidence of purifying selection. RT-PCR analysis with 15 Zingiber RGC-specific primers demonstrated 8 of the 15 Zingiber RGCs to be expressed. The present study reports for the first time the isolation and characterization of RGCs from ginger and its wild relatives, which will serve as a potential resource for future improvement of this important vegetatively propagated spice crop.
