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

Large protein families are a prominent feature of plant genomes and their size variation is a key element for adaptation. However, gene and genome duplications pose difficulties for functional characterization and translational research. Here we infer the evolutionary history of the DOMAIN OF UNKNOWN FUNCTION (DUF) 26-containing proteins. The DUF26 emerged in secreted proteins. Domain duplications and rearrangements led to the appearance of CYSTEINE-RICH RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASES (CRKs) and PLASMODESMATA-LOCALIZED PROTEINS (PDLPs). The DUF26 is land plant-specific but structural analyses of PDLP ectodomains revealed strong similarity to fungal lectins and thus may constitute a group of plant carbohydrate-binding proteins. CRKs expanded through tandem duplications and preferential retention of duplicates following whole genome duplications, whereas PDLPs evolved according to the dosage balance hypothesis. We propose that new gene families mainly expand through small-scale duplications, while fractionation and genetic drift after whole genome multiplications drive families towards dosage balance.
