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

key messageLhGST, an anthocyanin-related GST gene, was identified from Asiatic hybrid lilies. Expression and functional analyses demonstrated that LhGST might be involved in anthocyanin sequestration in lily tepals. Anthocyanins are responsible for the pink, red and purple pigmentation of flowers in Asiatic hybrid lilies, synthesized at the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and then transported to the vacuole. To date, the mechanism involved in the intracellular transport of anthocyanins in lilies has not been well elucidated. Here, full-length glutathione S-transferase gene (LhGST) was identified from lilies. Expression analysis revealed that LhGST was positively correlated with anthocyanin accumulation. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that LhGST clustered with other anthocyanin-related GSTs in the same phi clade. Moreover, functional complementation of an Arabidopsis tt19 mutant demonstrated that LhGST might be involved in anthocyanin accumulation in lily tepals. Additionally, according to phenotype analysis, LhGST was found to be correlated with the transport of anthocyanin in lilies by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assay. In addition, cis-element analysis of the LhGST promoter showed the presence of ABA-, auxin-, MeJA-, gibberellin-, light-, and stress-responsive elements and an MYB recognition site (MRS, CCGTTG). Yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase report assays revealed that the promoter of LhGST was activated by LhMYB12-lat, which is a key R2R3-MYB transcription factor that regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in lilies. In conclusion, our results revealed that LhGST plays a key role in anthocyanin transport and accumulation in the tepals of lilies.
