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

Several functional and regulatory proteins play important roles in controlling plant stress tolerance. Proline (Pro) is one of the most accumulated osmolytes correlated with tolerance to stresses. Δ(1)-Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) is a rate-limiting enzyme in Pro biosynthesis. In the present study, we isolated the cDNA for a P5CS gene (NtP5CS) from the halophyte Nitraria tangutorum. Phylogenetic analysis and subcellular localization analysis of NtP5CS-GFP protein in onion cells showed that NtP5CS was a new P5CS gene and was involved in Pro synthesis in N. tangutorum. Expression of the NtP5CS gene was induced by salt stress, dehydration, and high and low temperatures. Escherichia coli overexpressing AtP5CS or NtP5CS exhibited better growth in all treatments, including high salinity, high alkalinity, dehydration, osmotic, heat and cold stresses. Additionally, NtP5CS recombinant E. coli cells grew better than did AtP5CS recombinant cells in response to abiotic stresses. Our data demonstrate that the P5CS from a halophytic species functions more efficiently than its homologue from a glycophytic species in improving the stress tolerance of E. coli.
