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

GRAS proteins are important transcription factors that play multifarious roles in regulating the growth and development as well as stress responses of plants. Tea plant is an economically important leaf -type beverage crop. Information concerning GRAS family transcription factors in tea plant is insufficient. In this study, 52 CsGRAS genes encoding GRAS proteins were identified from tea plant genome database. Phylogenetic analysis of the identified GRAS proteins from tea plant, Arabidopsis, and rice divided these proteins into at least 13 subgroups. Conserved motif analysis revealed that the gene structure and motif compositions of the proteins were considerably conserved among the same subgroup. Functional divergence analysis indicated that the shifted evolutionary rate might act as a major evolutionary force driving subfamily-specific functional diversification. Transcriptome analysis showed that the transcriptional levels of CsGRAS genes under non-stress conditions varied among different tea plant cultivars. qRT-PCR analysis revealed tissue and development stage-specific expression patterns of CsGRAS genes in tea plant. The expression patterns of CsGRAS genes in response to abiotic stresses and gibberellin treatment suggested the possible multiple functions of these genes. This study provides insights into the potential functions of GRAS genes.
