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

Peanut is an important edible oil crop plant whose quality and yield are greatly affected by drought. The process and molecular mechanisms of recovery from drought are also critical to its productivity, but are currently poorly characterized. Here, we investigate the involvement of peanut AhGLK1 in recovery from drought, and in particular its relationship with AhPORA, which encodes a key enzyme in chlorophyll biosynthesis. We found that chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, AhPORA protein level and genes related to chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis declined markedly under drought conditions, but all increased during recovery. Consistent with this, AhGLK1 expression decreased during water stress and increased when the stress was removed. When AhGLK1 was transformed into Arabidopsis glk1glk2 mutant, it increased the survival rate of the mutant during recovery from drought and fully rescued the mutant's pale-green phenotype. In addition, chlorophyll content and fluorescence, and the expression of genes related to chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis, were all increased. Bioinformatics analysis and experimental evidence suggested that AhGLK1 augments the expression of AhPORA by binding to its promoter. Our findings confirm that AhGLK1 plays a role as a transcription factor that upregulates expression of AhPORA during post-drought recovery, thereby stimulating chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis.
