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

MAIN

conclusionCotton cytosolic pyruvate kinase GhPK6 is preferentially expressed in the late stage of fiber elongation process, transgenic experiments indicated that its expression level was negatively correlated to cell expansion rate. Pyruvate kinase (PK) plays vital regulatory roles in rapid cell growth in mammals. However, the function of PK in plant cell growth remains unclear. In allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), a total of 33 PK genes are encoded by the genome. Analysis of the transcriptome data indicated that only two cytosolic PK genes, GhPK6 and its duplicated gene GhPK26, are preferentially expressed in elongating cotton fiber cells. RT-qPCR and western blot analyses revealed that the expression of GhPK6 was negatively correlated with fiber elongation rate, which well explains the observed sharp increase of cytosolic PK activity at the end of fast fiber elongation process. Furthermore, virus-induced gene silencing of GhPK6 in cotton plants resulted in increased fiber cell elongation and reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. On the contrary, Arabidopsis plants ectopically expressing GhPK6 exhibited ROS-mediated growth inhibition, whereas the addition of ROS scavenging reagents could partly rescue this inhibition. These data collectively suggested that GhPK6 might play an important role in regulating cotton fiber elongation in a ROS-dependent inhibition manner.
