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

Balancing plant growth and survival is an important strategy for plants to adapt to different environments. However, the molecular mechanisms of the balance strategy are poorly understood. Our previous study demonstrated that MsNAC73 interacts with the promoter of MsPAE12, which positively regulates alfalfa shoot branching. In the present study, MsNAC73 was further found to interact with the promoter of MsPG2 and negatively regulate MsPG2 expression through MODMS database analysis and experimental verification (Y1H, EMSA and Dual-LUC assays). The transgenic alfalfa plants with overexpression or knockdown of MsNAC73 and MsPG2 were obtained, and their responses to abiotic stress were analysed. Overexpressing MsNAC73 negatively and overexpressing MsPG2 positively affected the salt tolerance of alfalfa. MsPG2 increased salt tolerance via hydrolysing pectins, increasing cell wall extensibility and reducing Na
