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

TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED (TPR) proteins are conserved transcriptional co-repressors vital for plant growth and development. However, the functions of soybean TPR (GmTPR) gene family members and their roles in photoperiod responses remain largely unexplored. In this study, we identified 12 TPR genes in the soybean genome, distributed across 11 chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis classified GmTPRs into three subfamilies (Class I-III) by comparing them with Arabidopsis TPR proteins. Collinearity analysis revealed that 6 GmTPR genes are collinear with 3 AtTPR genes, resulting in 10 pairs of collinear genes, with no tandem duplications found. Analysis of physicochemical properties, motif composition, and gene structure indicated significant differences among GmTPR members. Subcellular localization confirmed that GmTPRs predominantly reside in the nucleus, suggesting regulatory functions. Additionally, analysis of cis-regulatory elements revealed significant enrichment of light-responsive elements in GmTPR promoters, indicating possible regulation by light. Tissue-specific expression analysis showed that GmTPR genes are mainly expressed in flowers and seeds. RNA-seq and RT-qPCR analyses revealed distinct expression patterns of GmTPRs between long and short photoperiods, highlighting their responsiveness to photoperiod changes. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the GmTPR family, emphasizing their critical role in photoperiod responses.
