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

backgroundUnderstanding the molecular mechanisms that confer kiwifruit resistance to Botrytis cinerea is essential for developing resistant cultivars. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), known to participate in various physiological processes including plant defense against diseases, have an undefined role in kiwifruit's resistance.

resultsOur study aimed to identify lncRNAs induced by B. cinerea infection in 'Hongyang' kiwifruit at 0 to 3 days post-inoculation (dpi) through high-throughput sequencing. The differential expression analysis identified 126 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs). Subsequent GO and KEGG analyses indicated that these lncRNAs' target genes were predominantly associated with plant-pathogen interactions, carbohydrate metabolism including starch and sucrose, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, and plant hormone signal transduction. Co-expression analysis revealed that lncRNAs modulate the expression of genes involved in phytohormone signaling pathways, such as those for auxin, ethylene (ETH), abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA), as well as the MAPK signaling pathway. This regulation affects the biosynthesis of defense-related secondary metabolites like ADP-glucose, sucrose, 1,3-β-glucan, and cellulose, thereby enhancing the fruit's disease resistance.

conclusionOur findings offer valuable insights into the mechanisms by which lncRNAs respond to biotic stress in kiwifruit, potentially aiding in the development of strategies for breeding kiwifruit with improved resistance to B. cinerea.
