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

backgroundThe interactions between Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) and GRF-Interacting Factors (GIFs) have been well demonstrated but it remains unclear whether different combinations of GRF and GIF play distinctive roles in the pathway downstream of the complex.

resultsHere we showed that OsGRF1 and OsGIF1 synergistically regulate leaf growth in rice. The expression of OsGIF1 emerged in all tissues with much higher level while that of OsGRF1 appeared preferentially only in the stem tips containing shoot apical meristem (SAM) and younger leaves containing leaf primordium. Overexpression of an OsmiR396-resistant version of mOsGRF1 resulted in expanded leaves due to increased cell proliferation while knockdown of OsGRF1 displayed an opposite phenotype. Overexpression of OsGIF1 did not exhibit new phenotype while knockdown lines displayed pleiotropic growth defects including shrunken leaves. The crossed lines of mOsGRF1 overexpression and OsGIF1 knockdown still exhibited shrunk leaves, indicating that OsGIF1 is indispensable in leaf growth regulated by OsGRF1. The expression of OsGRF1 could be upregulated by gibberellins (GAs) and downregulated by various stresses while that of OsGIF1 could not.

conclusionOur results suggest that OsGIF1 is in an excessive expression in various tissues and play roles in various aspects of growth while OsGRF1 may specifically involve in leaf growth through titrating OsGIF1. Both internal and external conditions impacting leaf growth are likely via way of regulating the expression of OsGRF1.
