Genome-wide identification and biological relevance of broccoli aquaporins.
Article in The plant genome, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important crop worldwide, and its regular consumption is associated with health benefits due to the presence of various bioactive compounds. An optimal water balance and homeostasis are needed for plant growth; in this sense, aquaporins play a crucial role. As a result of a genome-wide search, a total of 65 aquaporin genes were identified in broccoli. The aquaporins were classified according to their phylogenetic relationships with other Brassicas species and Arabidopsis thaliana, and evolutionary events of gene duplication were also assessed, highlighting the tendency of NIPs (Nodulin-26-like Intrinsic Proteins) to duplicate. Also, the chromosomal localization, gene duplication, the study of the conserved motifs, and the tertiary structure were determined in broccoli. Functional predictive analyses were also carried out, which, together with the expression analyses in different broccoli plant tissues, allowed the prediction of the biological role of each aquaporin isoform. BoiPIP1-2a and BoiPIP1-2b showed higher expression in all the plant tissues when compared with other aquaporins. BoiTIP1-2b also showed high expression levels and was associated with nitrogen compounds transport such as urea. However, NIPs, through their differential expression and the tandem duplications of the isoforms, were revealed as the putative main actors in the response of broccoli plants to abiotic stress responses. The results of this work pointed to the physiological significance of each aquaporin isoform of broccoli, opening a new field of knowledge and constituting the first step of further in vivo analyses.
