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

backgroundThe DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) gene is a classical plant transcription factor with specific conserved structural domains, which plays an important role in the regulation of plant metabolism, root development, and stress defense mechanisms. In recent years, drought has severely jeopardized the growth and development of crops and is one of the main environmental factors limiting plant growth and reducing crop yields. Whether Dof family genes play a role in mulberry drought resistance is largely unknown.

resultsTo investigate the characteristics of the Dof gene family members in mulberry trees, 24 members of the mulberry Dof gene family were identified in the whole mulberry genome, and bioinformatics tools were employed to analyze the protein physicochemical properties, gene structure, phylogenetic evolution, conserved sequences, interaction networks, promoter cis-acting elements, and expression levels of Dof genes in mulberry.

conclusionsMost of the mulberry Dof proteins were unstable, all were hydrophilic. Subcellular localization prediction showed that all proteins were localized in the nucleus. The prediction of promoter cis-elements showed that the MnDof (Morus notabilis L. Dof) gene family contained 75 promoter cis-elements for growth and development, hormone, light, and stress responses. Amino acid sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis showed that all 24 Dof transcription factors contained zinc finger structural proteins. MnDof genes were distributed on all chromosomes except chromosomes 1, 2, and 7. A portion of MnDof genes responded to drought stress. These results provide information on the Dof gene family in mulberry and provide new insights into the function of MnDof genes in perennial plants, laying the foundation for further analysis of the function of these genes.
