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

On the basis of the results of gene chip analysis of the salt-tolerant wheat mutant RH8706-49 under conditions of salt stress, we identified and cloned an unknown salt-induced gene TaST (Triticum aestivum salt-tolerant). Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the gene was induced by salt stress. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing the TaST gene showed higher salt tolerance than the wild-type controls. Subcellular localization studies revealed that the protein encoded by this gene was in the nucleus. In comparison with wild-type controls, transgenic Arabidopsis plants accumulated more Ca(2+), soluble sugar, and proline and less Na(+) under salt stress. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that Arabidopsis plants overexpressing TaST also showed increased expression of many stress-related genes. All these findings indicated that TaST can enhance the salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
