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

Drought stress is a significant abiotic stress factor that affects wheat yield and quality. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in regulating caryopsis development in response to drought stress. However, little is known about the expression characteristics of miRNAs and how they regulate protein accumulation in wheat caryopsis under drought stress. To address this, two small RNA libraries of wheat caryopsis under control and drought stress conditions were constructed and sequenced. A total of 125 miRNAs were identified in the two samples, of which 110 were known and 15 were novel. A total of 1,981 miRNA target genes were predicted and functional annotations were obtained from various databases for 1,641 of them. Four miRNAs were identified as differential expression under drought stress, and the expression patterns of three of them were consistent with results obtained by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Moreover, three miRNA-target pairs showed negative regulation tendency, as revealed by RT-qPCR. Functional enrichment and pathway analysis revealed that four pathways might be involved in storage protein biosynthesis. Furthermore, drought stress significantly increased the accumulation of protein bodies and protein content in wheat endosperm. In summary, our findings suggest that drought stress may enhance storage protein by regulating the expression of miRNAs and their target genes.
