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

backgroundReference genes are necessary for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis and their stability can directly influence the accuracy of gene expression result. Miscanthus sacchariflorus, a perennial C4 grass that serves as promising biofuel plant for temperate climates, has not been explored for the identification of stable reference genes yet. MATERIALS AND

methodsNine potential reference genes (ACT, EF1a, FBOX, GAPDH, PP2A, SAND, TIP41, TUB and UBC) of M. sacchariflorus under different abiotic (salinity, drought and cadmium) stresses, as well as in two tissues (roots and leaves) were evaluated. The expression stability of these genes were analyzed by four commonly used software programs (geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, ΔCt method and RefFinder).

resultsOur results found that FBOX and SAND are the most stable genes among all tested samples. FBOX and EF1a are suitable for gene expression normalization of cadmium-treated samples and salinity-treated leaves. FBOX and PP2A are appropriate reference genes for salt-stressed roots and PEG-treated leaves. The traditional reference gene ACT and GAPDH exhibited the most variable pattern, which would not be recommended for qRT-PCR analysis under different abiotic stresses. Furthermore, the expression levels of PIP2, NHX1 and MT2a under drought, salt and cadmium treatment were detected with above reference genes.

conclusionsThis work identified the appropriate reference genes for qRT-PCR in M. sacchariflorus and FBOX was recommended to be effective internal control for gene expression normalization in M. sacchariflorus in response to different abiotic stresses.
