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 antiporters, uniporters and symporters are the functional classes of MFS that play major role in ions homeostasis, regulation of pumps and channels, membrane structure, transporters activity in tolerance to abiotic stresses. Major facilitator superfamily (MFS) encodes Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that are considered as being sensors of the molecule transports. A large number of MFS proteins have been identified in several plants, rice, maize, Arabidopsis etc. However, the majority of proteins in sorghum are described as putative, uncharacterized till date. This suggested that identified proteins of MFS in sorghum are far from saturation. Hence, we developed gene ontology (GO) terms semantic similarity based method using GOSemSim measure of R package. As a result, total 2,568 high (100 %) semantic similar orthologous proteins from 7 plant species were obtained. These data were used to predict function of 257 putative uncharacterized proteins from 18 families of MFS in Sorghum. Consequently, the identified proteins belonged to the function of regulation of pumps and channels, membrane structure, transporters activity, ions homeostasis, transporter mechanisms and binding process. These identified functions appear to have a distinct mechanism of salt-stress adaptation in plants. The proposed method will help in further identifying new proteins that can help in the development of agronomically and economically important plants.
