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

Dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factor plays a key role in plant stress signal transduction pathway. In this study, SbDREB2A has been isolated from the halophyte Salicornia brachiata. SbDREB2A cDNA is 1,062 bp long, encoding protein of 353 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 39.37 kDa and a pI of 4.98. On the basis of multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, SbDREB2A is classified in A-2 group of the DREB family. The genomic organization confirms that SbDREB2A is an intronless gene. Purified recombinant SbDREB2A protein showed similar binding to both DREs (dehydration-responsive element), ACCGAC and GCCGAC. The transcript expression of SbDREB2A was induced by NaCl, drought and heat stress. The role of SbDREB2A in abiotic stress was studied in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant E. coli cells exhibited better growth in basal LB medium as well as in supplemented with NaCl, PEG and mannitol. The enhanced growth in recombinant E. coli could be due to the regulation of stress regulated functional genes by this transcription factor. This system can be applied in biotechnological applications, where growth of E. coli can be enhanced under salt stress for efficient recombinant protein production in a short span of time.
