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

Abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive element binding factors (ABF)/ABA-responsive element binding proteins (AREB)/ABA insensitive protein 5 (ABI5) all belong to the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor A subfamily. The bZIP transcription factor family contains 13 subfamilies, namely groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M and S, and the ABF/AREB/ABI5 gene belongs to A subfamily of the bZIP transcription factor. However, genomic analysis of CsABF/AREB in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has not been systematically studied. In this study, we analyzed the characterization of CsABF/AREB family members and their response to phytohormonal and abiotic stresses. The results showed that a total of 8 genes family members were identified in cucumber. Structural domain analysis showed that the proteins of these family members are highly similar, and all of them belong to the bZIP structural domain. qRT-PCR analysis showed that CsABF/AREB members are expressed in root, stem, and leaf, with the highest expression in root, followed by stem and leaf. In addition, all 8 CsABF/AREB genes respond to ABA and methyl jasmonate (Me-JA). Among them, CsABF7 has the highest expression under both ABA and Me-JA treatments. Drought and salt stress significantly induce CsABF1, CsABF2, CsABF7, and CsABF8 expression. Drought and NaC1 stresses significantly induce the expression of CsABF1, CsABF2, CsABF7, and CsABF8. This study provides a basis for a further understanding of the role of CsABF/AREB homologous genes in response to abiotic stress and lays the foundation for further research on the function of CsABF/AREB.
