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

backgroundDrought and salt stresses as common abiotic stresses have a significant impact on the yield and quality of Malus domestica (apple). The tubby-like proteins (TLPs), as a family of transcription factors, play an important role in plant response to abiotic stresses, but the regulatory mechanisms involved remain unclear.

resultsHere, we investigated how apple TLP7 (MdTLP7) and its interacting genes regulate apple response to drought and salt stresses. The results shows that overexpression of MdTLP7 significantly increased the drought and salt tolerance of apple through regulating gene transcription. Yeast two-hybrid screening, together with DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq), revealed that MdTLP7 interacted with MdNAC72L to regulate the expression of MdHsp70-8 and MdAGP, and that the overexpression of these two genes significantly enhanced the drought and salt stresses tolerance of apple.

conclusionThe apple protein MdTLP7 could interact with MdNAC72L and promoted the expression of MdHsp70-8 and MdAGP, thus improved drought and salt tolerance of apple calli. These results provide insights into the molecular mechanism of MdTLP7 increasing the drought and salt stresses tolerance of apple as well as a theoretical basis for the expansion of apple cultivation and related research.
