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

Flavonoids are a kind of plant-specific secondary metabolites, which play an important role in regulating plant growth and development, stress response, and also have medicinal value. Chalcone synthase is the key enzyme in the synthesis of flavonoids. The function of chalcone synthase in Arabidopsis thaliana has been well studied, but its homologous protein in Brachypodium distachyon has not been reported. In this study, we identified a homolog of AtCHS in B. distachyon, named BdCHS, and described its function. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that BdCHS was most closely related to CHS in Triticum aestivum. Transgene analysis revealed that BdCHS protein was localized in the cytoplasm of Arabidopsis root cells. BdCHS protein can complement the phenotype of AtCHS mutants with lighter seed coat color and increased lateral root density. The content of superoxide anion in the cortical cells above the lateral root primordium in AtCHS mutants was higher than that in the wild-type, and BdCHS protein could restore the content of superoxide anion in AtCHS mutant to the level of that in the wild-type. The results showed that BdCHS was a functional homolog of AtCHS, which laid a foundation for the subsequent application of BdCHS in genetic breeding and crop improvement.
