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

backgroundSalt stress severely inhibits plant growth, and the WRKY family transcription factors play important roles in salt stress resistance. In this study, we aimed to characterize the role of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) NtWRKY65 transcription factor gene in salinity tolerance.

resultsThis study characterized the role of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) NtWRKY65 transcription factor gene in salinity tolerance using four NtWRKY65 overexpression lines. NtWRKY65 is localized to the nucleus, has transactivation activity, and is upregulated by NaCl treatment. Salinity treatment resulted in the overexpressing transgenic tobacco lines generating significantly longer roots, with larger leaf area, higher fresh weight, and greater chlorophyll content than those of wild type (WT) plants. Moreover, the overexpressing lines showed elevated antioxidant enzyme activity, reduced malondialdehyde content, and leaf electrolyte leakage. In addition, the Na

conclusionsOur results indicated that NtWRKY65 is a critical regulator of salinity tolerance in tobacco plants.
