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

The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) binds to cis-regulatory motifs known as heat shock elements (HSEs) to mediate the transcriptional response of HSF target genes. However, the HSF-HSEs interaction is not clearly understood. Using the newly released genome reference sequence of bread wheat, we identified 39,478 HSEs (95.6% of which were non-canonical HSEs) and collapsed them into 30,604 wheat genes, accounting for 27.6% wheat genes. Using the intensively heat-responsive transcriptomes of wheat, we demonstrated that canonical HSEs have a higher propensity to induce a response in the closest downstream genes than non-canonical HSEs. However, the response magnitude induced by non-canonical HSEs was comparable to that induced by canonical HSEs. Significantly, some non-canonical HSEs that contain mismatched nucleotides at specific positions within HSEs had a larger response magnitude than that of canonical HSEs. Consistently, most of the HSEs identified in the promoter regions of heat shock proteins were non-canonical HSEs, suggesting an important role for these non-canonical HSEs. Lastly, distinct diverged biological processes were observed between genes containing different HSE types, suggesting that sequence variation in HSEs plays a key role in the evolution of heat responses and adaptation. Our results provide a new perspective to understand the regulatory network underlying heat responses.
