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 C-repeat binding factor (CBF)/dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB1) proteins play a prominent role in freezing tolerance and are highly conserved in higher plants. Here we performed a genome-wide search of the CBF/DREB1 gene family in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and identified 14 members of the family with one member gene containing a non-sense mutation within the AP2 DNA-binding domain. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the CBF/DREB1 family members in 20 plant species from the Asterid or Rosid clade provided evidence that tandem duplication played an important role in the expansion of the CBF/DREB1 family. Expression analysis showed that twelve of the lettuce CBF genes were responsive to low temperature (4 °C), and that three and six of them could also be responsive to salt and heat stresses, respectively. Unlike Arabidopsis thaliana whose members of the CBF/DREB1 family respond only to a particular stress, lettuce CBFs provide wider protection from combinations of abiotic stresses. A global transcriptome analysis revealed distinctive temporal expression patterns among the cold-regulated genes in lettuce plants exposed to low temperature. Genes induced throughout the cold treatment are enriched in functions associated with protection from UV and high-light intensity and the genes suppressed after 7 days of cold exposure are enriched in photosynthesis-associated functions. These results provide insight into the molecular evolutionary properties of the CBF/DREB1 gene family in lettuce and a reference for genetic improvement of the lettuce response to cold acclimation.
