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

As a perennial herbaceous species, Panax ginseng is widely cultivated and used as traditional herbal medicine. The root of Panax ginseng commonly remains expensive as conventional breeding of Panax ginseng is difficult. Somatic embryogenesis (S.E.) is a useful tool for plant propagation and optimal model for understanding the mechanisms of plant embryogenesis. In Panax ginseng, increasing studies have been widely performed to optimize the technology of S.E., while the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this paper, we cloned and identified a WRKY family gene named PgWRKY6 which is upregulated in response to 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)-induced embryogenic callus development. The silencing of PgWRKY6 obviously reduces the induction rate of embryogenic callus, indicating its crucial role in S.E. of Panax ginseng hairy root. The expressions of several ROS-scavenging genes are also inducible during embryogenic callus development, and the transcriptions of PgGST, PgAPX1, and PgSOD are demonstrated to be regulated by PgWRKY6. Recombinant PgWRKY6, an approximate 40-KDa protein purified from Escherichia coli, shows a specific DNA-binding activity with a potential recognition site of TTGAC(C/T). This work demonstrated that as a conserved WRKY family transcription factor, PgWRKY6 functions upstream of PgGST, PgAPX1, and PgSOD, and potentially mediated auxins -ROS signaling pathway in the process of S.E. in Panax species.
