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

Potassium (K+) is an essential nutrient for plants. It contributes to most physiological and biochemical pathways for plant metabolism, growth, and development. It is the most available plant nutrient, comprising 10–15% of plant weight. Plants have a sophisticated system of K+ transporters and channels for distribution in plant body. Apple is one of the most consumed fruits in the world. Its fruit quality and yield are positively affected by K+. However, limited information is available about K+ transport systems in Apple. In this study, 47 candidate genes (26 K+ transporters and 21 K+ channels) have been identified in Apple (Malus domestica) genome. The phylogenetic comparisons with other plants (Glycine max, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Oryza sativa) indicated that the K+ transport system is much conserved among different plants. The analysis of Gene structure showed the presence of specific introns and exon patterns for these gene families. Transcriptomic data analysis and RT-qPCR demonstrated significant variations in the transcript abundance of these genes in response to abiotic stresses. The current project represents the first report about the K+ transport system in Apple. Therefore, it may act as a starting point for further functional characterizations.
