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

Bergenia purpurascens is an important medicinal, edible, and ornamental plant. It generally grows in extreme environments with complex stresses. The GRAS transcription factors play a crucial role in regulating plant stress tolerance and growth-development. There is no research on GRAS transcription factors in B. purpurascens. In this study, 29 B. purpurascens GRAS (BpGRAS) genes were identified based on B. purpurascens transcriptome data. These BpGRAS genes were classified into seven subfamilies according to phylogenetic analysis, while BpGRAS1 was not classified into any other subfamilies. The motif analysis showed that the protein motifs in the same subfamily were relatively conserved. The expression pattern analysis of BpGRAS genes in different tissues and under salt stress showed that eight BpGRAS genes were differentially expressed under salt stress. The expression profiles showed that BpGRAS9 might play an important role in salt response and the transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines with overexpressed BpGRAS9 showed the enhanced salt tolerance. Root length and fresh weight were significantly increased in transgenic lines under salt conditions. The studies enhanced our comprehension of the function of BpGRAS and established a more foundation for exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying plant salt tolerance.
