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

key messageCotton stem trichomes exhibit a distinct polarity distribution, which may be regulated by GhPRP genes and temperature. Stem trichomes in cotton are essential for pest resistance and stress tolerance, yet their molecular regulation remains poorly understood. Significant differences in trichome number and length were observed under 25 °C and 30 °C, with more and longer trichomes at the first stem node under 25 °C. The side above the first true leaf (M side) showed more number of trichomes than the opposite side (L side), indicating polarity distribution. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and 17 key DEGs were selected for further analysis, including 9 upregulated genes encoding proline-rich cell wall proteins (PRPs), flavonol synthase (FLS), prolyl endopeptidase (PREP), and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 3 (DGAT3). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed higher GhPRP expression on the M side. When GhPRP1, GhPRP2, or GhPRP10 was silenced using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technique, trichome density decreased, and polarity was disrupted, highlighting their regulatory roles. Bioinformatics analysis revealed hormone signal transduction-related domains in PRP gene promoters, potentially linking them to trichome polarity regulation. This study advances understanding the mechanisms of trichome polarity distribution and offers insights for improving pest resistance and stress adaptation in cotton.
