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

Cadmium has been accumulating in the agricultural and ecological environment in recent years due to the release of industrial pollutants. Due to its high solubility, slow degradability and high toxicity, it is highly susceptible to occurring in agricultural fields. The presence of cadmium at low concentrations is harmful to plants. Heavy metal ATPases (HMAs) are proteins that can detoxify high concentrations of heavy metals through vacuole compartmentalization or exocytosis pathways. They have been extensively studied in plants. However, the cadmium transport function of HMAs in wheat has not been explored. In this study, a comprehensive and systematic investigation of HMA gene family members in wheat was conducted. A total of 28 putative TaHMAs were identified. Phylogenetically, these 28 putative TaHMAs were divided into two subgroups: Cu/Ag and Zn/Co/Cd/Pb. The gene structures and conserved motifs were consistent within the same branch and diverse in different branches. The TaHMA gene family is closely related to rice, B. distachyon and A. tauschii. GO analysis results suggest that TaHMAs may be involved in cation transport and membrane components. Protein interaction analysis results suggest that TaHMAs may interact with TaSOD to activate the SOD defense mechanism in wheat. Expression patterns exhibited tissue specificity. Finally, the expression patterns of TaHMAs were validated in the roots and leaves of wheat plants under cadmium stress. Our findings will be valuable for functional studies and applications of HMA gene family members in wheat.
