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

Lycium ruthenicum is a perennial shrub species that has attracted considerable interest in recent years owing to its nutritional value and ability to thrive in a harsh environment. However, only extremely limited transcriptomic and genomic data related to this species can be found in public databases, thereby limiting breeding research and molecular function analysis. In this study, we characterized the physiological and biochemical responses to saline-alkaline mixed stress by measuring photochemical efficiency, chlorophyll content, and protective enzyme activity. We performed global transcriptomic profiling analysis using the Illumina platform. After optimizing the assembly, a total of 68 063 unique transcript sequences with an average length of 877 bp were obtained. Among these sequences, 4096 unigenes were upregulated and 4381 unigenes were down-regulated after saline-alkaline mixed treatment. The most abundant transcripts and over-represented items were assigned to gene ontology (GO) terms or Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and the Genomes (KEGG) categories for overall unigenes, and differentially expressed unigenes were analyzed in detail. Based on this set of RNA-sequencing data, a total of 9216 perfect potential simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified within 7940 unigenes with a frequency of 1/6.48 kb. A total of 77 primer pairs were synthesized and examined in wet-laboratory experiments, of which 68 loci (88.3%) were successfully amplified with specific products. Eleven pairs of polymorphic primers were verified in 225 individuals from nine populations. The inbreeding coefficient and the polymorphism information content value ranged from 0.011 to 0.179 and from 0.1112 to 0.6750, respectively. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.064 to 0.840 and from 0.115 to 0.726, respectively. Nine populations were clustered into three groups based on a genetic diversity study using these novel markers. Our data will be useful for functional genomic investigations of L. ruthenicum and could be used as a basis for further research on the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and gene flow of L. ruthenicum and other closely related species.
