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

backgroundNeoporphyra haitanensis, a major marine crop native to southern China, grows in the harsh intertidal habitats of rocky coasts. The thallus can tolerate fluctuating and extreme environmental stresses, for example, repeated desiccation/rehydration due to the turning tides. It is also a typical model system for investigating stress tolerance mechanisms in intertidal seaweed. The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play important roles in the regulation of plants' responses to environmental stress stimuli. However, little information is available regarding the bZIP family in the marine crop Nh. haitanensis.

resultsWe identified 19 bZIP genes in the Nh. haitanensis genome and described their conserved domains. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these 19 NhhbZIP genes, distributed unevenly on the 11 superscaffolds, were divided into four groups. In each group, there were analogous exon/intron numbers and motif compositions, along with diverse exon lengths. Cross-species collinearity analysis indicated that 17 and 9 NhhbZIP genes were orthologous to bZIP genes in Neopyropia yezoensis and Porphyra umbilicalis, respectively. Evidence from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data showed that the majority of NhhbZIP genes (73.68%) exhibited transcript abundance in all treatments. Furthermore, genes NN 2, 4 and 5 showed significantly altered expression in response to moderate dehydration, severe dehydration, and rehydration, respectively. Gene co-expression network analysis of the representative genes was carried out, followed by gene set enrichment analysis. Two NhhbZIP genes collectively responding to dehydration and rehydration and their co-expressing genes mainly participated in DNA repair, DNA metabolic process, and regulation of helicase activity. Two specific NhhbZIP genes responding to severe dehydration and their corresponding network genes were mainly involved in macromolecule modification, cellular catabolic process, and transmembrane transport. Three specific NhhbZIP genes responding to rehydration and their co-expression gene networks were mainly involved in the regulation of the cell cycle process and defense response.

conclusionsThis study provides new insights into the structural composition, evolution, and function of the NhhbZIP gene family. Our results will help us to further study the functions of bZIP genes in response to dehydration and rehydration in Nh. haitanensis and improve Nh. haitanensis in southern China.
