Transcriptomic complexity in young maize primary roots in response to low water potentials.
Article in BMC genomics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers.
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.
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
backgroundWidespread and more frequently occurring drought conditions are a consequence of global warming and increase the demand for tolerant crop varieties to feed the growing world population. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the water deficit response of crops will enable targeted breeding strategies to develop robust cultivars.
resultsIn the present study, the transcriptional response of maize (Zea mays L.) primary roots to low water potentials was monitored by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) experiments. After 6 h and 24 h of mild (-0.2 MPa) and severe (-0.8 MPa) water deficit conditions, the primary root transcriptomes of seedlings grown under water deficit and control conditions were compared. The number of responsive genes was dependent on and increased with intensification of water deficit treatment. After short-term mild and severe water deficit 249 and 3,000 genes were differentially expressed, respectively. After a 24 h treatment the number of affected genes increased to 7,267 and 12,838 for mild and severe water deficit, respectively, including more than 80% of the short-term responsive genes. About half of the differentially expressed genes were up-regulated and maximal fold-changes increased with treatment intensity to more than 300-fold. A consensus set of 53 genes was differentially regulated independently of the nature of deficit treatment. Characterization revealed an overrepresentation of the Gene Ontology (GO) categories "oxidoreductase activity" and "heme binding" among regulated genes connecting the water deficit response to ROS metabolism.
conclusionThis study gives a comprehensive insight in water deficit responsive genes in young maize primary roots and provides a set of candidate genes that merit further genetic analyses in the future.
