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 messageOverexpression of a tomato TCTP impacts plant biomass production and performance under stress. These phenotypic alterations were associated with the up-regulation of genes mainly related to photosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism and water transport. The translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a multifaceted and highly conserved eukaryotic protein. In plants, despite the existence of functional data implicating this protein in cell proliferation and growth, the detailed physiological roles of many plant TCTPs remain poorly understood. Here we focused on a yet uncharacterized TCTP from tomato (SlTCTP). We show that, when overexpressed in tobacco, SlTCTP may promote plant biomass production and affect performance under salt and osmotic stress. Transcriptomic analysis of the transgenic plants revealed the up-regulation of genes mainly related to photosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism and water transport. This induced photosynthetic gene expression was paralleled by an increase in the photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of the transgenic plants. Moreover, the transcriptional modulation of genes involved in ABA-mediated regulation of stomatal movement was detected. On the other hand, genes playing a pivotal role in ethylene biosynthesis were found to be down-regulated in the transgenic lines, thus suggesting deregulated ethylene accumulation in these plants. Overall, these results point to a role of TCTP in photosynthesis and hormone signaling.
