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

The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2), is a large family of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) that exert crucial regulatory roles in various physiological processes and abiotic stresses. There is scanty information on the role of the NAC family in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). In this study, we conducted a genome-wide survey and expression analysis of the NAC family in sunflower. A total of 150 HaNACs were identified in sunflower. Phylogenetic analysis to compare HaNACs with Arabidopsis NACs generated 15 clusters. Among them, eight membrane-bound NAC TFs with transmembrane helixes were found (designated as NTLs), which were suggested to be localized in the membrane and transferred to the nucleus through proteolysis. Notably, 12 HaNACs were potentially regulated via miR164 cleavage or translational inhibition. By analyzing RNA-seq data from Sequence Read Archive (SRA), the expression of HaNACs showed tissue specificity and strong response to drought stress. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis of 150 HaNACs with the previously reported NACs related to abiotic stress revealed that 75% of the abiotic stress-related NACs were clustered into the SNAC (abiotic stress-related NAC) group, and only 25% were in the Non-SNAC group. qRT-PCR further demonstrated that about 75% of the HaNACs in the SNAC subgroup were induced by salt and drought stress, and the expression of some HaNACs showed tissue specificity. These findings provide valuable information that can deepen the understanding of how NAC TFs in sunflower respond to abiotic stress.
