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

Potassium channels are important for many physiological functions in plants, one of which is to regulate plant adaptation to stress conditions. In this study, a K(+) channel PutAKT1 cDNA was isolated from the salt-tolerant plant Puccinellia tenuiflora. A phylogenetic analysis showed that PutAKT1 belongs to the AKT1-subfamily in the Shaker K(+) channel family. PutAKT1 was localized in the plasma membrane and it was preferentially expressed in the roots. The expression of PutAKT1 was induced by K(+)-starvation stress in the roots and was not down-regulated by the presence of excess Na(+). Arabidopsis plants over-expressing PutAKT1 showed enhanced salt tolerance compared to wild-type plants as shown by their shoot phenotype and dry weight. Expression of PutAKT1 increased the K(+) content of Arabidopsis under normal, K(+)-starvation, and NaCl-stress conditions. Arabidopsis expressing PutAKT1 also showed a decrease in Na(+) accumulation both in the shoot and in the root. These results suggest that PutAKT1 is involved in mediating K(+) uptake (i) both in low- and in high-affinity K(+) uptake range, and (ii) unlike its homologs in rice, even under salt-stress condition.
