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

WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) is a class of plant-specific transcription factors and plays vital roles in plant development and evolution. Here, we analyzed WOX family genes of three Rosa species and explored their potential functions in Rosa. A total of 351 WOX genes were identified from Rosa chinensis 'Old Blush' (208), Rosa wichuraiana 'Basye's Thornless' (21) and Rosa rugosa (122). The WOX genes were found to significantly expand in Rosa compared to Arabidopsis. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Rosa WOXs genes were classified into an ancient clade, an intermediate clade, and a WUS clade. Collinearity analysis suggested that gene duplication and purifying selection might be important driving forces in the evolution of WOXs. Expression patterns of WOXs found that higher levels of RcWUS1 expression were detected at the shoot apex somatic embryos. Furthermore, we found that RcWUS1 was a transcriptional repressor located in the nucleus. Overexpression of RcWUS1 enhanced the regeneration efficiency of somatic embryos. In summary, our results indicated the functional potential of RcWUS1 in embryogenic transformation, which can be further utilized to improve the genetic transformation efficiency in rose.
