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

backgroundLow salinity is one of the main factors limiting the distribution and survival of marine species. As a euryhaline species, the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) is adaptive to relatively low salinity. However, the mechanisms underlying salinity stress responses in P. trituberculatus is not very clear.

objectivesThe primary objective of this study was to describe the salinity adaptation mechanism in P. trituberculatus.

methodsThe crabs were exposed to low salinity stress, and gill tissue was sampled at 0, 12, 36, 48 and 72 h and subjected to high throughput sequencing. Subsequently, we tested the accuracy and quality of the sequencing results, and then carried out GO and KEGG bioinformatics on the differentially expressed genes (DEG).

resultsEach sample yielded more than 1.1 Gb of clean data and 23 million clean reads. The process was divided into early (0-12 h), middle (12-48 h), and late phase (48-72 h). A total of 1971 (1373 up-regulated, 598 down-regulated), 1212 (364 up-regulated, 848 down-regulated), and 555 (187 up-regulated, 368 down-regulated) DEGs with annotations were identified during the three stages, respectively. DEGs were mainly associated with lipid metabolism energy metabolism, and signal transduction from the three stages, respectively.

conclusionA substantial number of genes were modified by salinity stress, along with a few important salinity acclimation pathways. This work provides valuable information on the salinity adaptation mechanism in P. trituberculatus. In addition, the comprehensive transcript sequences reported in this study provide a rich resource for identification of novel genes in this and other crab species.
