A comprehensive analysis of transcriptomic data for comparison of plants with different photosynthetic pathways in response to drought stress.
Synthesis in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The main factor leading to a decrease in crop productivity is abiotic stresses, particularly drought. Plants with C4 and CAM photosynthesis are better adapted to drought-prone areas than C3 plants. Therefore, it is beneficial to compare the stress response of plants with different photosynthetic pathways. Since most crops are C3 and C4 plants, this study focused on conducting an RNA-seq meta-analysis to investigate and compare how C3 and C4 plants respond to drought stress at the gene expression level in their leaves. Additionally, the accuracy of the meta-analysis results was confirmed with RT-qPCR. Based on the functional enrichment and network analysis, hub genes related to ribosomal proteins and photosynthesis were found to play a potential role in stress response. Moreover, our findings suggest that the low abundant amino acid degradation pathway, possibly through providing ATP source for the TCA cycle, in both groups of plants and the activation of the OPPP pathway in C4 plants, through providing the electron source required by this plant, can help to improve drought stress tolerance.
