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

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most harmful pests, causing major reductions in soybean yield globally. The validation and functional characterization of SCN resistance genes are crucial to improving soybean yield worldwide. Herein, we describe an SCN resistance gene, GmERF071 (Glyma.19g262700). GmERF071 is a hydrophilic, unstable protein with an AP2/ERF subfamily ethylene response transcription factor domain, which is localized in the nucleus. Overexpression of GmERF071 enhanced SCN resistance in the soybean stable genetic transformation and root systems. RNA-seq analysis revealed 394 upregulated and 132 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GmERF071 overexpression transgenic plants. The DEGs participated in plant-pathogen interactions, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, plant hormone signal transduction, response to chitin, response to carbohydrates, response to wounding in starch and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropionic acid biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis. Nine candidate DEGs were verified using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. These results suggest that GmERF071 plays a key role in SCN resistance and could be used in genomics-assisted breeding to develop soybean varieties with increased resistance to SCN.
