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

Alfalfa is an important legume forage grown worldwide and its productivity is affected by environmental stresses such as drought and high salinity. In this work, three alfalfa germplasms with contrasting tolerances to drought and high salinity were used for unraveling the transcriptomic responses to drought and salt stresses. Twenty-one different RNA samples from different germplasm, stress conditions or tissue sources (leaf, stem and root) were extracted and sequenced using the PacBio (Iso-Seq) and the Illumina platforms to obtain full-length transcriptomic profiles. A total of 1,124,275 and 91,378 unique isoforms and genes were obtained, respectively. Comparative analysis of transcriptomes identified differentially expressed genes and isoforms as well as transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications such as alternative splicing events, fusion genes and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay events and non-coding RNA such as circRNA and lncRNA. This is the first time to identify the diversity of circRNA and lncRNA in response to drought and high salinity in alfalfa. The analysis of weighted gene co-expression network allowed to identify master genes and isoforms that may play important roles on drought and salt stress tolerance in alfalfa. This work provides insight for understanding the mechanisms by which drought and salt stresses affect alfalfa growth at the whole genome level.
