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

backgroundMembers of the WRKY protein family, one of the largest transcription factor families in plants, are involved in plant growth and development, signal transduction, senescence, and stress resistance. However, little information is available about WRKY transcription factors in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.).

resultsIn this study, comprehensive genome-wide characterization of the flax WRKY gene family was conducted that led to prediction of 102 LuWRKY genes. Based on bioinformatics-based predictions of structural and phylogenetic features of encoded LuWRKY proteins, 95 LuWRKYs were classified into three main groups (Group I, II, and III); Group II LuWRKYs were further assigned to five subgroups (IIa-e), while seven unique LuWRKYs (LuWRKYs 96-102) could not be assigned to any group. Most LuWRKY proteins within a given subgroup shared similar motif compositions, while a high degree of motif composition variability was apparent between subgroups. Using RNA-seq data, expression patterns of the 102 predicted LuWRKY genes were also investigated. Expression profiling data demonstrated that most genes associated with cellulose, hemicellulose, or lignin content were predominantly expressed in stems, roots, and less in leaves. However, most genes associated with stress responses were predominantly expressed in leaves and exhibited distinctly higher expression levels in developmental stages 1 and 8 than during other stages.

conclusionsUltimately, the present study provides a comprehensive analysis of predicted flax WRKY family genes to guide future investigations to reveal functions of LuWRKY proteins during plant growth, development, and stress responses.
