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

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important model plant with an important role in agriculture and national economies all over the world. The optimum growth temperature of maize is between 25 and 28 °C. At temperatures below 12 °C, maize is vulnerable to damage by chilling stress. MYB transcription factors play important roles in plants' response to low temperature stress. Maize ZmMYB31 encodes a R2R3-MYB transcription factor, ZmMYB31, which localized in the nucleus. ZmMYB31 expression was induced by chilling stress and the highest expression level was detected with the 24 h chilling treatment. ZmMYB31 expression also increased in overexpressing Arabidopsis lines. The minimal fluorescence (Fo) with all photosystem II reaction centers open increased in wild type (WT) and transgenic plants under chilling stress, with the highest increase in WT. The maximal photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) decreased more in WT than in transgenic plants during chilling stress. Furthermore, the ZmMYB31-overexpressing lines showed higher superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase activity and lower reactive oxygen species (ROS) content than the WT. The expression of genes related to chilling stress was higher in transgenic plants than in WT. These results suggest that ZmMYB31 plays a positive regulatory role in chilling and peroxide stress by regulating the expression of chilling stress-related genes to reduce ion extravasation, ROS content, and low-temperature photoinhibition, thereby improving low temperature resistance.
