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

Introduction: Thioredoxins (TRX) are redox-active proteins critical for plant stress adaptation. As a TRX family member, nucleoredoxin (NRX) maintains drought-induced redox homeostasis, yet its genome-wide characterization in rice remains uninvestigated. Methods: Using HMMER3.0 (E-value <1e-5) and TBtools, we identified OsNRX genes across three rice varieties (Minghui63, Nipponbare, 9311). Conserved domains were verified by SMART/CDD, while promoter cis-elements were systematically predicted with PlantCARE. Tissue-specific expression patterns were analyzed using RiceXPro data, and drought responses were quantified via qRT-PCR in drought-tolerant (Jiangnong Zao 1B) versus sensitive (TAISEN GLUTINOUS YU 1157) varieties under PEG6000 stress. Results: Ten OsNRX genes were classified into three subfamilies (NRX1/NRX2/NRX3) exhibiting conserved domain architectures. Promoter analysis identified abundant stress-responsive elements (ABRE, MBS) and phytohormone signals (ABA/JA/SA). Tissue-specific expression profiles revealed NRX1a dominance in roots/hulls, versus NRX1b/NRX2 enrichment in endosperm. Drought stress triggered rapid OsNRX upregulation (20-53-fold within 3-6h), with tolerant varieties showing earlier NRX2 activation than sensitive counterparts. Discussion: OsNRX genes exhibit dynamic drought-responsive regulation, while their spatiotemporal expression in glumes, embryos, and endosperm suggests potential dual roles in stress adaptation and grain development. These results provide molecular targets for improving drought resilience in rice breeding.
