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

Temperature stress restricts plant growth and development. Antifreeze protein (AFP) can improve plants antifreeze ability. In our previous study, the AnAFP gene cloned from Ammopiptanthus nanus was confirmed to be an excellent candidate enhancing plant cold resistance. But, AnAFP protein shared similar structures with KnS type dehydrins including K, N and S domains except ice crystal binding domain A. Here, we generated AnAFPΔA, AnAFPΔK, AnAFPΔN and AnAFPΔS, and transformed them into ordinary and cold sensitive strains of E. coli, and Arabidopsis KS type dehydrin mutant to evaluate their function. Expression of AnAFPΔA decreases cold and heat tolerance in E. coli, meanwhile, AnAFP enhances heat tolerance in Arabidopsis, suggesting that domain A is a thermal stable functional domain. AnAFP, AnAFPΔA and AnAFPΔS localize in whole cell, but AnAFPΔK and AnAFPΔN only localizes in nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively, exhibiting that K and N domains control localization of AnAFP. Likewise, K domain blocks interaction between AnAFP and AnICE1. The result of RT-qPCR showed that expression of AnAFP, AnICE1 and AnCBF genes was significantly induced by high-temperature, indicating that the AnAFP is likely regulated by ICE1-CBF-COR signal pathway. Taken together, the study provides insights into understanding the mechanism of AnAFP in response to temperature stress and gene resource to improve heat or cold tolerance of plants in transgenic engineering.
