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

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a well-established and reliable technology utilized for the rapid and accurate quantification of gene expression changes. The selection of stable reference genes is necessary to analyse qRT-PCR data and ensure gene expression studies reliability. Stropharia rugosoannulata, commonly known as the wine-cap Stropharia mushroom, ranks among the top ten internationally traded mushrooms. In the present study, six novel candidate reference genes were selected from S. rugosoannulata transcriptome, alongside four traditional reference genes that displayed stable expression levels in S. rugosoannulata. Three widely used software (geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper) were employed to analyse ten candidate reference genes, and the final ranking of reference genes was determined through RefFinder. The results indicated that UBP exhibited the highest stability across various developmental stages of red and yellow S. rugosoannulata, while RPB2 and GAPDH showed the least stability. These novel reference genes demonstrated significantly superior stability to other four traditional genes across nearly all developmental stages. In conclusion, Our findings provide robust guidelines for selecting suitable reference genes, thereby enhancing the reliability of qRT-PCR normalization in Stropharia rugosoannulata.
