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 message82 melon NAC (CmNAC) genes were identified in melon. We putatively identified the function of CmNAC gene in melon under salt stress. NAC transcription factor proteins play important roles in many biological processes, including plant development and stress responses. To date, few full-length melon NAC proteins have been identified. In this study, 82 melon NAC (CmNAC) genes were identified in the Cucumis melo L. genome. By interrogating our cDNA libraries and transcriptome data from melon under salt stress, and comparison of their phylogenetic relationship with Arabidopsis NAC salt stress-related genes, we putatively identified that the fourth clade of CmNAC genes were involved in the salt stress response, especially the second clade of the group IV of the phylogenetic tree. Expression analysis confirmed that eleven of the twelve CmNAC genes from the group IV were induced in melon seedling roots by salt stress; the other gene was down regulated by salt stress. The expression of CmNAC14 continually increased in 12 h under salt stress, and was selected for transformation into Arabidopsis for functional verification. Overexpression of CmNAC14 increased the sensitivity of transgenic Arabidopsis lines to salt stress, which were simultaneously demonstrated by reduced expression of abiotic stress-response genes and variation in several physiological indices. This study increases our knowledge and may enable further characterization of the roles of CmNAC family in the response to salt stress.
