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

key messageMaize YSL gene ZmYSL14 enhances salt tolerance in maize. Our findings demonstrate that ZmPRR37-ZmYSL14 module promotes salt stress tolerance in maize. Environmental challenges, particularly soil salinity, have severely impacted maize production worldwide. Yellow Stripe-Like (YSL) is a subfamily of oligopeptide transporter, and there is limited reporting on its role in salt stress response. In this study, we screened an Ac/Ds mutant library and identified a salt-sensitive line, K17-16H876. Further characterization revealed that the Ds element was inserted into the coding region of Zm00001d054041 (ZmYSL14), which encodes a YSL protein. The zmysl14 mutant exhibited increased salt sensitivity, while ZmYSL14 overexpression lines displayed enhanced salt tolerance. Yeast one-hybrid screening identified a PRR transcription factor, ZmPRR37, which has previously been reported to enhance salt stress tolerance in maize. Dual-luciferase assays and RT-qPCR analysis indicated that ZmPRR37 promotes the expression of ZmYSL14. Our findings suggest the ZmPRR37-ZmYSL14 module enhances salt tolerance in maize. This research enriches the functional understanding of YSL family genes and provides valuable genetic resources for breeding new salt-tolerant maize varieties.
