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

Salinity stress has become an expanding threat to food security worldwide. Revealing the mechanisms of salinity tolerance in plants has immense significance. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) has been regarded as a model crop for exploring mechanisms under stress, considering its extreme adaptation abilities to adverse ecologies. In present study, two foxtail millet cultivars of Yugu2 and An04 with contrasting salt tolerance properties were investigated through integrative analyses of transcriptomics and metabolomics. In the transcriptomics results, 8887 and 12,249 DEGs were identified in Yugu2 and An04 in response to salinity, respectively, and 3149 of which were overlapped between two varieties. These salinity-responsive genes indicated that ion transport, redox homeostasis, phytohormone metabolism, signaling and secondary metabolism were enriched in Yugu2 by GO and KEGG analyses. The integrative omics analysis implied that phenylpropanoid, flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis pathways, and lysophospholipids were vital in determining the foxtail millet salinity tolerance. Importantly, the tolerance of Yugu2 attributed to higher efficiencies of ion channel and antioxidant system. All these provide a comprehensive regulatory network of foxtail millet to cope with salinity, and shed some lights on salt tolerance which is relevant for other cereal crops.
