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

Caucasian clover is the only perennial herb of the genus Leguminous clover with underground rhizomes. However, we know very little about its development process and mechanism. Transcriptome studies were conducted on the roots of Caucasian clover without a rhizome (NR) at the young seedling stage and the fully developed rhizome, including the root neck (R1), main root (R2), horizontal root (R3), and rhizome bud (R4), of the tissues in the mature phase. Compared with the rhizome in the mature phase, NR had 893 upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs), most of which were enriched in 'phenylpropanoid biosynthesis', 'phenylalanine metabolism', 'DNA replication' and 'biosynthesis of amino acids'. A higher number of transcription factors (AP2/ERF, C2H2 and FAR1) were found in NR. There were highly expressed genes for R4, such as auxin response factor SAUR, galacturonosyltransferase (GAUT), and sucrose synthase (SUS). Phenylpropanoids are very important for the entire process of rhizome development. We drew a cluster heat map of genes related to the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, in which the largest number of genes belonged to COMT, and most of them were upregulated in R4.
