Comparative Genome-Wide Analysis of the Malate Dehydrogenase Gene Families in Cotton.
Article in PloS one, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Malate dehydrogenases (MDHs) play crucial roles in the physiological processes of plant growth and development. In this study, 13 and 25 MDH genes were identified from Gossypium raimondii and Gossypium hirsutum, respectively. Using these and 13 previously reported Gossypium arboretum MDH genes, a comparative molecular analysis between identified MDH genes from G. raimondii, G. hirsutum, and G. arboretum was performed. Based on multiple sequence alignments, cotton MDHs were divided into five subgroups: mitochondrial MDH, peroxisomal MDH, plastidial MDH, chloroplastic MDH and cytoplasmic MDH. Almost all of the MDHs within the same subgroup shared similar gene structure, amino acid sequence, and conserved motifs in their functional domains. An analysis of chromosomal localization suggested that segmental duplication played a major role in the expansion of cotton MDH gene families. Additionally, a selective pressure analysis indicated that purifying selection acted as a vital force in the evolution of MDH gene families in cotton. Meanwhile, an expression analysis showed the distinct expression profiles of GhMDHs in different vegetative tissues and at different fiber developmental stages, suggesting the functional diversification of these genes in cotton growth and fiber development. Finally, a promoter analysis indicated redundant but typical cis-regulatory elements for the potential functions and stress activity of many MDH genes. This study provides fundamental information for a better understanding of cotton MDH gene families and aids in functional analyses of the MDH genes in cotton fiber development.
