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

Populus euphratica Olivier, which has been considered as a tree model for the study of higher plant response to abiotic stresses, survive in the desert ecosystem characterized by extreme drought stress. To survive in the harsh environmental condition the plant species have developed some plasticity such as the development of heteromorphic leaves and well-developed roots system. We investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms enabling this species to cope with severe stress caused by drought. The heterophylly, evolved from linear to toothed-ovate shape, showed the significant difference in cuticle thickness, stomata densities, and sizes. Physiological parameters, SOD, POD, PPO, CAT activity, free proline, soluble protein and MDA contents fluctuated in response to soil drying. Gene expression profile of roots monitored at control and 4 moisture gradients regimes showed the up-regulation of 124, 130, 126 and 162 and down-regulation of 138, 251, 314, 168 DEGs, respectively. Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/ hydrolase gene (XET) up-regulated at different moisture gradients, was cloned and expressed in tobacco. The XET promoter sequence harbors the drought signaling responsive cis-elements. The promoter expression activity varies in different organs. Over-expression and knocked down transgenic tobacco plant analysis confirmed the role of XET gene in roots growth and drought resistance.
