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

Hemarthria compressa is a high-quality forage resource in China. In recent years, waterlogging has frequently occurred, adversely affecting the growth and development of H. compressa. In order to investigate the physiological and molecular response mechanisms of H. compressa under waterlogging stress and identify hub genes involved in waterlogging tolerance, H. compressa roots from the GY (waterlogging-tolerant) and N1291 (waterlogging-sensitive) cultivars were selected as experimental materials in this study. The physiological indexes of H. compressa were measured, and transcriptome sequencing was carried out after 8 h and 24 h of waterlogging stress, with 0 h used as the control group. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities were significantly increased in both GY and N1291 under waterlogging stress (P < 0.05). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified a total of four modules significantly associated with waterlogging stress (r>|0.9|, P < 0.05). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment results showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in the Starch and sucrose metabolism, Plant hormone signal transduction, Ribosome and Glutathione metabolism pathways. Seven hub genes were also retrieved, including Cluster-38255.67514 and Cluster-38255.80127, potentially associated with waterlogging tolerance. It is related to the Ribosome pathway and participates in the process of anti-waterlogging regulation. The results of this experiment provide new insights into the response mechanisms of H. compressa to waterlogging stress and a theoretical framework for the effective selection and breeding of waterlogging-tolerant cultivars.
