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

backgroundBrassica juncea (L.) Czern is an important oilseed crop affected by various abiotic stresses like drought, heat, and salt. These stresses have detrimental effects on the crop's overall growth, development and yield. Various Transcription factors (TFs) are involved in regulation of plant stress response by modulating expression of stress-responsive genes. The myeloblastosis (MYB) TFs is one of the largest families of TFs associated with various developmental and biological processes such as plant growth, secondary metabolism, stress response etc. However, MYB TFs and their regulation by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in response to stress have not been studied in B. juncea. Thus, we performed a detailed study on the MYB TF family and their interactions with miRNAs and Long non coding RNAs.

resultsComputational investigation of genome and proteome data presented a comprehensive picture of the MYB genes and their protein architecture, including intron-exon organisation, conserved motif analysis, R2R3 MYB DNA-binding domains analysis, sub-cellular localization, protein-protein interaction and chromosomal locations. Phylogenetically, BjuMYBs were further classified into different subclades on the basis of topology and classification in Arabidopsis. A total of 751 MYBs were identified in B. juncea corresponding to 297 1R-BjuMYBs, 440 R2R3-BjuMYBs, 12 3R-BjuMYBs, and 2 4R-BjuMYBs types. We validated the transcriptional profiles of nine selected BjuMYBs under drought stress through RT-qPCR. Promoter analysis indicated the presence of drought-responsive cis-regulatory components. Additionally, the miRNA-MYB TF interactions was also studied, and most of the microRNAs (miRNAs) that target BjuMYBs were involved in abiotic stress response and developmental processes. Regulatory network analysis and expression patterns of lncRNA-miRNA-MYB indicated that selected long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) acted as strong endogenous target mimics (eTMs) of the miRNAs regulated expression of BjuMYBs under drought stress.

conclusionsThe present study has established preliminary groundwork of MYB TFs and their interaction with ncRNAs in B. juncea and it will help in developing drought- tolerant Brassica crops.
