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

Konjac is one of the important economic crops for poverty alleviation in mountainous areas of Yunnan Province, China. However, there are always various biotic and abiotic stress during its growth, leading to production reduction and quality decline. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are an important class of genes involved in calcium ion signal transmission within plant tissue cells, yet their presence and functions in konjac remain unexplored. This study aimed to identify the members of the AkCDPK gene family in the Amorphophallus konjac genome and understand their evolution and responses to various stresses. A total of 29 AkCDPK genes were identified and categorized into four subgroups that unevenly distributed across 12 chromosomes. Most AkCDPK have undergone purifying selection during evolution. Cis-acting element analysis revealed that several AkCDPK are involved in phytohormone induction, defence, stress response, and plant development. Expression analysis indicated tissue specificity, and responses to salt, drought, and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum stress. AkCDPK15, encoding 582 amino acids, was cloned. AkCDPK15 was mainly localised on the cell membrane, and overexpression in tobacco revealed that it can positively regulate the tolerance of transgenic tobacco strains to salt and drought stress. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for future research on the function of the CDPK gene family in A. konjac, potentially aiding in the development of stress-resistant konjac varieties.
