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

backgroundDates contain various minerals that are essential for good health. The major RNA interference (RNAi) gene families play a vital role in plant growth and development by controlling the expression of protein-coding genes against different biotic and abiotic stresses. However, these gene families for date palm are not yet studied. Therefore, this study has explored major RNAi genes and their characteristics in date palm.

resultsWe have identified 4 PdDCLs, 7 PdAGOs, and 3 PdRDRs as RNAi proteins from the date palm genome by using AtRNAi genes as query sequences in BLASTp search. Domain analysis of predicted RNAi genes has revealed the Helicase_C, Dicer_dimer, PAZ, RNase III, and Piwi domains that are associated with the gene silencing mechanisms. Most PdRNAi proteins have been found in the nucleus and cytosol associated with the gene silencing actions. The gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis has revealed some important GO terms including RNA interference, dsRNA fragmentation, and ribonuclease_III activity that are related to the protein-coding gene silencing mechanisms. Gene regulatory network (GRN) analysis has identified PAZ and SNF2 as the transcriptional regulators of PdRNAi genes. Top-ranked 10 microRNAs including Pda-miR156b, Pda-miR396a, Pda-miR166a, Pda-miR167d, and Pda-miR529a have been identified as the key post-transcriptional regulators of PdRNAi genes that are associated with different biotic/abiotic stresses. The cis-acting regulatory element analysis of PdRNAi genes has detected some vital cis-acting elements including ABRE, MBS, MYB, MYC, Box-4, G-box, I-box, and STRE that are linked with different abiotic stresses.

conclusionThe results of this study might be valuable resources for the improvement of different characteristics in date palm by further studies in wet-lab.
