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

The ARF gene family is crucial for regulating plant growth, development, and responses to various signaling pathways. In this study, 26 quinoa ARF genes (CqARF01-CqARF26) were identified, with encoded proteins varying in length from 553 to 1092 amino acids, molecular weights from 60.66 to 111.71 kDa, and isoelectric points from 5.15 to 8.21. The proteins were found in either the nucleus (13 CqARFs) or cytoplasm (11 CqARFs). Phylogenetic analysis classified ARF proteins into five groups. All CqARFs contained seven conserved motifs (Motif1, Motif2, Motif4, Motif6, Motif8, Motif9, and Motif10), indicating conserved positions and functional similarities. Gene structure analysis showed that most CqARF genes had UTR regions at both ends, with similar structures within subgroups. Conserved sequence analysis revealed that motif composition within subgroups was relatively conserved. The presence of four classes of cis-regulatory elements in quinoa ARF genes suggests involvement in light, hormone, tissue-specific expression, and other responses. Expression analysis indicated that the most genes (CqARF05, CqARF07, CqARF15 and CqARF24) were highly expressed under drought and salt stress treatment. Overexpression of CqARF05 gene in Arabidopsis enhanced drought and salt resistance in transgenic lines. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of the ARF gene family.
