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

backgroundEucalyptus, a widely cultivated woody plant, is susceptible to a diverse array of pests and diseases, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. Traditional breeding methods are very time-consuming; therefore, plant genetic engineering has emerged as a promising approach for plant pathogen management. However, the genetic transformation system of eucalyptus is still in its early stages of development, while studies on transgenic eucalyptus and its disease resistance genes are limited. The SWAP70 gene has been shown to play a crucial role in the defense response of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice. In this study, the model plant A. thaliana was selected for genetic transformation. The aim was to enhance the expression of the EuSWAP70 gene derived from Eucalyptus grandis, and other disease resistance genes by utilizing an artificial GWSF promoter.

resultsThe results showed that the EuSWAP70 gene was successfully transformed into A. thaliana, and the PCR assay confirmed the presence of the EuSWAP70 gene in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. The gray mold resistance of the EuSWAP70 transgenic Arabidopsis plants under GWSF and CaMV35S promoters was evaluated against Botrytis cinerea infection. After gray mold infection, Arabidopsis plants were ranked by leaf pore area percentage: wildtype > CaMV35S-EuSWAP70 > GWSF-EuSWAP70. The transgenic plants showed stronger gray mold resistance, and the GWSF-EuSWAP70 transgenic plants were stronger than the CaMV35S-EuSWAP70 transgenic plants.
