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

Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, the only evergreen broadleaf shrub endemic to the northwest desert of China, is a valuable species for plant abiotic stress research. No report has so far described the selection of reference genes to get stringent normalization for qPCR in A. mongolicus. This work identified reliable reference genes for normalization of qPCR data in A. mongolicus under abiotic stresses from 14 reference gene candidates (UBQ, Tub1, Tub2, Abc1, Ubc1, Ubc2, Ubc4, Ubc5, eIF1, eIF2, eIF3, eIF4, EF1, EF2), and used the most suitable combination of reference genes to normalize the expression profiles of seven ROS-scavenging enzyme genes (AmSOD, AmAPX, AmGPX, AmCAT, AmGLR, AmPrx, and AmTrx). We set a series of 22 experimental samples covering the control and different time points under cold, dry, salt, and heat stresses. According to geNorm and NormFinder, the combination of eIF1 and eIF3 was best for accurate normalization across all the treatments, confirmed by normalizing qPCR data with AmHsp90. In contrast, these data show that Tub1, Abc1, and EF1 are not suitable reference gene candidates. After being normalized against eIF1 and eIF3, the seven ROS-scavenging enzyme genes exhibited differentially up- or down-regulated expression patterns. AmSOD and AmGPX were up-regulated by all four treatments, indicating that they may participate in an anti-oxidative mechanism under abiotic stresses in A. mongolicus. AmCAT exhibited a much higher expression level than AmAPX, AmPrx, and AmGPX, suggesting a principle role in detoxifying excessive H₂O₂. AmSOD, AmGPX and AmAPX showing the most abundant transcripts under heat, AmCAT and AmGLR under drought, and AmPrx under salt, were observed. Expression patterns of the seven ROS-scavenging enzyme genes suggest different antioxidant protection roles of these genes under abiotic stresses. These results are valuable for future research on gene expression and abiotic stress tolerance in A. mongolicus.
