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

Bile acid sodium symporter (BASS) family proteins encode a class of sodium/solute symporters. Even though the sodium transporting property of BASSs in mammals was well studied, their sodium transportability and functional roles in plant salt tolerance remained largely unknown. Here, BASS family members from 4 cotton species, as well as 30 other species were identified. Then, they were designated as members of BASS1 to BASS5 subfamilies according to their sequence similarity and phylogenetic relationships. There were 8, 11, 16 and 18 putative BASS genes in four cotton species. While whole-genome duplications (WGD) and segmental duplications rendered the expansion of the BASS gene family in cotton, BASS gene losses occurred in the tetraploid cotton during the evolution from diploids to allotetraploids. Concerning functional characterizations, the transcript profiling of GhBASSs revealed that they not only preferred tissue-specific expression but also were differently induced by various stressors and phytohormones. Gene silencing and overexpression experiments showed that GhBASS1 and GhBASS3 positively regulated, whereas GhBASS2, GhBASS4 and GhBASS5 negatively regulated plant salt tolerance. Taken together, BASS family genes have evolved before the divergence from the common ancestor of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and GhBASSs are plastidial sodium-dependent metabolite co-transporters that can influence plant salt tolerance.
