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

Spring maize is usually subjected to low-temperature stress during seed germination, which retards seedling growth later even under a suitable temperature. However, the mechanism underlying maize seed germination under low-temperature stress impacting seedling growth is still ambiguous. In this study, we used one low-temperature sensitive maize (SM) and one low-temperature resistance maize (RM) to investigate the mechanism. The results showed that the SM line had higher malondialdehyde content and lower total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and germination percentage than the RM line under low-temperature stress, indicating the vulnerability of SM line to low-temperature stress. Further transcriptome analysis revealed that seed germination under low-temperature stress caused the down-regulation of photosynthesis-related gene ontology terms in two lines. Moreover, the SM line displayed down-regulation of ribosome and superoxide dismutase (SOD) related genes, whereas genes involved in SOD and vitamin B6 were up-regulated in the RM line. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that photosynthesis and antioxidant metabolism-related pathways played essential roles in response to low-temperature stress during seed germination. The photosynthetic system displayed a higher degree of damage in the SM line. Both qRT-PCR and physiological characteristics experiments showed similar results with transcriptome data. Taken together, we propose a model for maize seed germination in response to low-temperature stress.
