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

Tau class glutathione transferases (GSTU) genes are plant specific, induced by different abiotic stress, and important for protecting plants against oxidative damage. GST gene was isolated using 5' RACE from an extreme halophyte Salicornia brachiata, cloned, sequenced and its protein structure was predicted. Transcript profiling of SbGST gene expression was studied under different abiotic stress conditions and plant growth regulator treatments, viz. salt, cold, drought, ABA and salicylic acid, with time period point and concentration point. The expression of SbGST gene was up-regulated in all stress conditions, except SA treatment. Seed germination percentage, GST enzyme assay, fresh weight and other growth parameters (root length, shoot length and leaf area) were studied and results indicate that over-expression of SbGST gene in transgenic tobacco leads to enhanced seed germination and growth under salt stress. Transgenic lines were evaluated for their performance under salt stress and tobacco plants over-expressing SbGST showed higher seed germination and survival compared to wild type. These results confirm that expression of SbGST gene is up-regulated by different stresses and over-expression of tau class SbGST gene in transgenic tobacco plays a vital role in abiotic stress tolerance. SbGST gene expressed conspicuously under salt stress leading to enhance seed germination and better growth. Furthermore, GST is a potential candidate gene to be used in genetic engineering for enhancing abiotic stress tolerance.
