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

Chitinases (Chi), an important resistance-related protein, act against fungal pathogens by catalyzing the fungal cell wall, whereas are involved in different biological pathways in grape. In this study, we found 42 Chi family genes in Vitis vinifera L. (VvChis) and evaluated their expression levels after Botrytis infection, stress hormones like ethylene (ETH) and methyl-jasmonate (MeJA), and abiotic stresses like salinity and temperature changes in ripened fruits. VvChis were categorized into five groups including A, B, C, D, and E belonged to glycoside hydrolase family 18 and 19 (GH18 and GH19) according to genes structure, which expression analysis showed distinct temporal and spatial expression patterns changed in different tissues and various development stages. Different responsive elements to biotic and abiotic stresses were determined in the promoter regions of VvChis, specially elicitor-responsive element that was conserved among all VvChis genes. The expression levels of VvChis in groups A, B, and E increased after Botrytis cinerea infection in leaves and berries. Meanwhile, VvChis in glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18) were up-regulated under MeJA and ETH treatment, although the induction of VvChis by low temperature was more significant than high temperature. The expression of VvChis was also positively correlated with the concentration of NaCl treatment. Furthermore, differential gene-overexpression of VvChi5, VvChi17, VvChi22, VvChi26, and VvChi31 in strawberry and tomato fruits demonstrated the involvement of various isoforms in resistance to Botrytis infection through antioxidant system and lignin accumulation, which led to a reduction of damage. Among different isoforms of VvChis, we confirmed the interaction of Chi17 with Metallothionein (MTL) as oxidative stress protection, which suggests VvChis can modulate oxidative stress during postharvest storage in ripened fruits.
