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

key messageOverexpression of CuZnSOD gene from Arachis hypogaea demonstrating its involvement in abiotic stress tolerance. Abiotic stress is accompanied by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals, causing extensive cellular damage and inhibition of photosynthesis that limit the plant productivity. The level of ROS in cells needs to be tightly regulated and the toxic effects of ROS are countered by enzymatic as well as non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. The superoxide dismutase is the first enzyme involved in the detoxification of ROS and converts superoxide (O2(·-)) radicals to H2O2. A full-length cDNA clone encoding a CuZnSOD, named AhCuZnSOD, was isolated from the salt tolerant cell lines of Arachis hypogaea, stably thriving at 200 mM NaCl. The cell line showed higher transcript accumulation under multiple abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, cold and oxidative stress treatment. The functional role of AhCuZnSOD in alleviation of abiotic stress was assessed by its overexpression in transgenic tobacco plants. The T1 transgenic plants showed improved tolerance to salinity and dehydration stress as indicated by higher seed germination and better chlorophyll content. The transgenic plants survived under longer periods of water deficiency and salinity stress and displayed improved recovery after rehydration compared to the wild type (WT) plants. The enhanced level of the transgene correlated with higher relative water content, less electrolyte damage, less malondialdehyde, higher antioxidant enzyme activity, H2O2 and O2(·-) accumulation under stress conditions compared to WT plants. Our results substantiate that increased levels of SOD activity brought about by overexpression of AhCuZnSOD gene may play an important role in ameliorating oxidative injury induced by various environmental stresses.
