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

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade plays pivotal roles in diverse signalling pathways related to plant development and stress responses. In this study, the cloning and functional characterization of a group-I MAPK gene, PtrMAPK, in Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf are reported. PtrMAPK contains 11 highly conserved kinase domains and a phosphorylation motif (TEY), and is localized in the nucleus of transformed onion epidermal cells. The PtrMAPK transcript level was increased by dehydration and cold, but was unaffected by salt. Transgenic overexpression of PtrMAPK in tobacco confers dehydration and drought tolerance. The transgenic plants exhibited better water status, less reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and higher levels of antioxidant enzyme activity and metabolites than the wild type. Interestingly, the stress tolerance capacity of the transgenic plants was compromised by inhibitors of antioxidant enzymes. In addition, overexpression of PtrMAPK enhanced the expression of ROS-related and stress-responsive genes under normal or drought conditions. Taken together, these data demonstrate that PtrMAPK acts as a positive regulator in dehydration/drought stress responses by either regulating ROS homeostasis through activation of the cellular antioxidant systems or modulating transcriptional levels of a variety of stress-associated genes.
