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

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional proteins that help in oxidative stress metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotic compounds. Studies pertaining to GST gene family have been undertaken in various plant species, however no information is available with respect to GST genes in chickpea. In the current study, we identified a total of 51 GST encoding genes in chickpea (CaGST) genome. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GST gene family can be divided into eleven distinct classes. Tau and phi were the major classes in chickpea and one third of the CaGST genes represented segmental duplication and purifying selection was common among these genes. Expression of many CaGST genes, in particular, members of tau class were found to be upregulated under abiotic stress conditions. In addition, CaGST genes displayed differential expression patterns across diverse organs/tissues, suggesting their roles in developmental processes. Many CaGST genes showed opposite expression pattern in small- and large-seeded chickpea cultivars during seed development. Higher expression of CaGST genes in small-seeded cultivar at maturation stages of seed development suggested their important role in seed development and seed size/weight determination in chickpea. Overall, these results provide a comprehensive information on GST gene family members in chickpea and is expected to provide a rational platform to explore versatile role of these genes in semi-arid legume crops.
