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

BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN (BLH/BELL) family transcription factors play important roles in the response of plants to environmental stress. In this study, we found that the BLH/BELL transcription factor SlBEL2 affects drought tolerance in tomato plants, as SlBEL2-knockout (KO-SlBEL2) tomato plants showed enhanced drought tolerance, whereas SlBEL2-overexpression (OE-SlBEL2) tomato plants displayed impaired drought tolerance. Further research demonstrated that SlBEL2 negatively regulates drought tolerance in tomato plants by suppressing the expression of a number of genes that respond to drought. In addition, a RING E3 ligase, SlRGLG2, interacts with SlBEL2 and promotes ubiquitination degradation of SlBEL2, thus affecting the stability of the SlBEL2 protein, which in turn positively regulates drought tolerance in tomato plants. In summary, the SlRGLG2-SlBEL2 module regulates drought tolerance in tomato plants, and the aforementioned findings offer a novel viewpoint on the tomato plant's drought tolerance regulatory network.
