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

Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments with antioxidant activities. In plants, multiple factors can trigger the accumulation of anthocyanins, including chemicals and environmental factors. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are common by-products produced under different biotic and abiotic conditions and cause oxidative stress when accumulated at a high level in plant cells. This in turn leads to the production of anthocyanins. However, the mechanisms of ROS-induced anthocyanin accumulation and the role of anthocyanins in the response of plants to different stresses are largely unknown. We have recently reported the cross-regulation between ROS and anthocyanin production through analyzing ten Arabidopsis mutants covering the main anthocyanin regulatory and biosynthetic genes grown under different ROS-generating stresses. Here, we describe the general phenotypic response of anthocyanin mutants under normal and ROS-generating stress conditions, showing the changing levels of anthocyanin accumulation and their sensitivity to stresses. In addition, we propose a model that describes a particular gene interaction that highlights how the cross-regulation mechanisms between ROS and anthocyanin production are essential for plant resistance to various stresses through removing excessive ROS and maintaining photosynthetic capacity.
