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

background srs(Short Internodes/Stylish/SHI-Related Sequence) genes play a crucial role in plant developments, encompassing organ morphogenesis. However, at present, the biological significance of potato StSRS genes remains unknown. This study comprehensively identified and analysed the potential functions of StSRS genes in potato tuberization.

resultsThrough phylogenetic and conserved motif analyses, eight members of the StSRS family were successfully identified and classified into five distinct subfamilies. The intraspecies and interspecies collinearity analyses offered insights into the evolutionary clues of the StSRS family, showing closer homology to tomato and tobacco. High-quality RNA-sequencing (Q30 > 97.16%) revealed dynamic gene expression profiles, with 146 to 997 differentially expressed transcription factors (DETFs), particularly from the MYB-related, GATA, and bHLH families. Among them, the expression of two StSRS genes, StSRS1 and StSRS8, were dramatically changed during potato tuber formation. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) uncovered stage-specific gene modules and spotlighted hub genes. Specifically, StSRS8 was strongly associated with the Stolon stage, while StSRS1 was evidently linked to the Tuber stage. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that the transcripts of both StSRS1 and StSRS8 were predominantly expressed during potato tuberization, as compared to those in other tissues. However, it is scarcely detectable for other six StSRS genes. Furthermore, the transcripts of StSRS8 were repressed under short-day (SD) conditions.

conclusionThese findings yield critical insights into the potato StSRS gene family and furnish essential information for further function investigation of StSRS genes, particularly StSRS1 and StSRS8, in the context of potato tuberization.
