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 messageWe studied the genome-wide multiple time-course transcriptome dynamics after saliva deposition in alfalfa and demonstrate that saliva deposition functions as a stress that negatively affects the regrowth of alfalfa. Saliva deposition is one of the key factors influencing plant-herbivore interactions during grazing. Although many studies have focused on the effects of saliva deposition on plant regrowth, no consistent conclusions have been reached. Alfalfa is the most extensively cultivated forage legume, yet most alfalfa cultivars, thus far, are not grazing-tolerant. To better understand the underlying mechanism, we undertook a study to evaluate the global changes in the transcriptome of alfalfa after cow saliva deposition treatment. In this study, cDNA libraries from alfalfa seedlings at 0, 4, 8, and 24 h after cow saliva deposition were constructed and sequenced, resulting in the identification of 53,195 annotated unigenes, from which 4,814 unigenes were significantly differentially expressed. A metabolic pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that saliva deposition functions as a stress that negatively affects the regrowth of alfalfa by modifying jasmonic acid synthesis, enhancing the susceptibility to pathogens and reducing the expression levels of ribosomal protein genes. In the present study, we demonstrate the potential effects of saliva deposition on alfalfa regrowth at the transcriptome level. These fundamental and important findings could facilitate further investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying the responses of alfalfa and other related species to herbivore grazing.
