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

backgroundCotton is the most essential textile crop worldwide, and phytohormones are critical for cotton fiber development. One example is the role of auxin in fiber initiation, but we know little molecular basis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have a significant function in cotton development; nevertheless their role in fiber initiation remains unclear. Here, exogenous IAA was applied to cotton plant before anthesis. Utilizing small RNA sequencing, the mechanism underlying miRNA-mediated regulation of fiber initiation under exogenous IAA treatment was investigated.

resultsWith exogenous IAA application, the endogenous IAA and GA contents of IAA treated (IT) ovules were higher than control (CK) ovules at the fiber initiation stage, while endogenous ABA content was lower in IT than CK. Using scanning electron microscopy, we found the fiber number and size were significantly promoted in IT at 0 DPA. Fiber quality analysis showed that fiber length, uniformity, strength, elongation, and micronaire of IT were higher than CK, though not statistically significant, while lint percent was significantly higher in IT. We generated six small RNA libraries using - 3, 0, and 3 DPA ovules of IT and CK, and identified 58 known miRNAs and 83 novel miRNAs together with the target genes. The differential expressed miRNAs number between IT and CK at - 3, 0, 3 DPA was 34, 16 and 24, respectively. Gene ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses for the target genes of the miRNAs expressed in a differential manner showed that they were significantly enriched in 30 terms and 8 pathways. QRT-PCR for those identified miRNAs and the target genes related to phytohormones and fiber development was performed, and results suggested a potential role of these miRNAs in fiber initiation.

conclusionsThe exogenous IAA application affected the relative phytohormone contents in ovule and promoted fiber initiation in cotton. Identification and profiling of miRNAs and their targets at the fiber initiation stage provided insights for miRNAs' regulation function of fiber initiation. These findings not only shed light on the regulatory network of fiber growth but also offer clues for cotton fiber amelioration strategies in cotton.
