Molecular mechanisms of how black barley accumulates higher anthocyanins than blue barley following transcriptomic evaluation and expression analysis of key genes in anthocyanins biosynthesis pathway.

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.
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
Barley is not only a major food crop but also a medicinal plant which has considerable quantities of flavonoids. Among all flavonoids, anthocyanins play a crucial role in pigmentation, pollination, seed dispersal in plants. Anthocyanins also have antioxidant properties. Varietal differences significantly affect anthocyanins content in barley. Therefore, anthocyanins content are significantly higher in black barley than the blue one. To explore the molecular mechanisms of higher anthocyanins content in black barley, transcriptomic analysis was done to elucidate the involvement and expression of new genes in anthocyanins biosynthesis in two barley. In transcriptomic analyses, 10,579 new genes were identified, and 5,912 were functionally annotated. Twelve types of alternative splicing were found in 10,579 unigenes. Among 7,113 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 3,235 were significantly up-regulated. The existence of the significant protein-protein interaction and involvement of many DEGs in various biological, cellular and molecular processes might reveal their significant influence on plant growth, development, yield and anthocyanins biosynthesis. Involvement of DEGs in phenylpropanoid and flavonoids biosynthesis in the black barley might be due to their great involvement in flavonoid biosynthesis, including anthocyanins. Higher expression of
