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

Spinach is salt-tolerant leafy vegetable stemmed from central Asia. It has been well adapted to different climates of Iran. We aimed to study genetic diversity between several landraces as a prerequisite for crop improvement programs using molecular markers including microsatellites (SSRs) and morphological traits. Genetic diversity was studied among 22 spinach landraces using morphological and molecular tools. We developed 17 genic and genomic SSR markers based on the information acquired from NCBI resources. Morphological evaluation indicated high variability for economic traits including leaf color, leaf thickness, leaf wrinkle and seed type, across Iranian landraces. The molecular results exhibited that 12 out of 17 primer pairs successfully amplified genomic DNA with explicit bands. The results verified that genic markers were superior to genomic markers to detect polymorphism and genetic diversity. In this regard, PIC for genomic and genic SSRs was in the range of 0.4616-0.6621 and 0.5188-0.7394, respectively. Polymorphic genic SSRs were identified to be directly and indirectly involved in biotic/abiotic stresses. High degree of polymorphism, which was detected across the landraces by genic SSRs, could assist us to select 11 landraces for the second experiment. The second experiment was designed to evaluate the response of selected landraces to salinity stress. The results confirmed genetic variability among the landraces in terms of salinity tolerance. A highly diverse germplasm of Iranian spinach based on molecular and morphological characteristics along with the tolerance to oxidative stress provides an ample opportunity for plant breeders to select superior genotypes.
