Transcriptome analysis of secondary cell wall development in Medicago truncatula.
Article in BMC genomics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundLegumes are important to humans by providing food, feed and raw materials for industrial utilizations. Some legumes, such as alfalfa, are potential bioenergy crops due to their high biomass productivity. Global transcriptional profiling has been successfully used to identify genes and regulatory pathways in secondary cell wall thickening in Arabidopsis, but such transcriptome data is lacking in legumes.
resultsA systematic microarray assay and high through-put real time PCR analysis of secondary cell wall development were performed along stem maturation in Medicago truncatula. More than 11,000 genes were differentially expressed during stem maturation, and were categorized into 10 expression clusters. Among these, 279 transcription factor genes were correlated with lignin/cellulose biosynthesis, therefore representing putative regulators of secondary wall development. The b-ZIP, NAC, WRKY, C2H2 zinc finger (ZF), homeobox, and HSF gene families were over-represented. Gene co-expression network analysis was employed to identify transcription factors that may regulate the biosynthesis of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. As a complementary approach to microarray, real-time PCR analysis was used to characterize the expression of 1,045 transcription factors in the stem samples, and 64 of these were upregulated more than 5-fold during stem maturation. Reverse genetics characterization of a cellulose synthase gene in cluster 10 confirmed its function in xylem development.
conclusionsThis study provides a useful transcriptome and expression resource for understanding cell wall development, which is pivotal to enhance biomass production in legumes.
