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

key messageMdoDHN11 acts in the nucellus layer to protect the embryo and the endosperm from limited water availability during apple seed development. Dehydrins (DHNs) are protective proteins related to several plant developmental responses that involve dehydration such as seed desiccation and abiotic stresses. In apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.), the seed-specific MdoDHN11 was suggested to play important roles against dehydration during seed development. However, this hypothesis has not yet been evaluated. Within this context, several experiments were performed to functionally characterize MdoDHN11. In situ hybridization analysis during apple seed development showed that MdoDHN11 expression is confined to a maternal tissue called nucellus, a central mass of parenchyma between the endosperm and the testa. The MdoDHN11 protein was localized in the cytosol and nucleus. Finally, transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing MdoDHN11 were generated and exposed to a severe water-deficit stress, aiming to mimic a situation that can occurs during seed development. All transgenic lines showed increased tolerance to water deficit in relation to wild-type plants. Taken together, our results provide evidences that MdoDHN11 plays important roles during apple seed development by protecting the embryo and the endosperm from limited water availability, and the mechanism of action probably involves the interaction of MdoDHN11 with proteins and other components in the cell.
