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 NAC gene family is one of the important plant-specific transcription factor families involved in variety of physiological processes. It has been found in several plant species; however, little is known about the gene family in ginseng, Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. Here we report identification and systematic analysis of this gene family in ginseng. A total of 89 NAC genes, designated PgNAC01 to PgNAC89, are identified. These genes are alternatively spliced into 251 transcripts at fruiting stage of a four-year-old ginseng plant. The genes of this gene family have five conserved motifs and are clustered into 11 subfamilies, all of which are shared with the genes of the NAC gene families identified in the dicot and monocot model plant species, Arabidopsis and rice. This result indicates that the PgNAC gene family is an ancient and evolutionarily inactive gene family. Gene ontology (GO) analysis shows that the functions of the PgNAC gene family have been substantially differentiated; nevertheless, over 86% the PgNAC transcripts remain functionally correlated. Finally, five of the PgNAC genes, PgNAC05-2, PgNAC41-2, PgNAC48, PgNAC56-1, and PgNAC59, are identified to be involved in plant response to cold stress, suggesting that this gene family plays roles in response to cold stress in ginseng. These results, therefore, provide new insights into functional differentiation and evolution of a gene family in plants and gene resources necessary to comprehensively determine the functions of the PgNAC gene family in response to cold and other abiotic stresses in ginseng.
