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

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that plays important roles in the regulation of plant growth, seed germination, and stress responses. The pyrabactin resistance 1-like (PYR/PYL) protein, an ABA receptor, was involved in the initial step in ABA signal transduction. However, the evolutionary history and characteristics of PYL genes expression remain unclear in Chinese white pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) or other Rosaceae species. In this study, 67 PYL genes were identified in eight Rosaceae species, and have been classified into three subgroups based on specific motifs and phylogenetic analysis. Intriguingly, we observed that whole-genome duplication (WGD) and dispersed duplication (DSD) have a major contribution to PYL family expansion. Purifying selection was the major force in PYL genes evolution. Expression analysis finds that PYL genes may function in multiple pear tissues. qRT-PCR validation of 11 PbrPYL genes indicates their roles in seed germination and abiotic stress responses. Our study provides a basis for further elucidation of the function of PYL genes and analysis of their expansion, evolution and expression patterns, which helps to understand the molecular mechanism of pear response to seed germination and seedling abiotic stress.
