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

The HD-ZIP gene family plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stressors. Nevertheless, there exists a paucity of information regarding this gene family in Helianthus annuus (Sunflower). In the present investigation, a total of 55 putative HaHD-ZIP genes were identified and subsequently classified into four subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis, further substantiated through the analysis of gene structures and conserved motifs. An analysis of the promoter regions of HaHD-ZIP genes revealed the existence of numerous diverse cis-regulatory elements. Furthermore, we identified 15,577 binding sites for the HD-ZIP transcription factor within the sunflower genome, distributed across 9,479 unique genes. The analysis of protein-protein interactions elucidated the existence of three distinct clusters of HaHD-ZIPs, within which A0A251U614, HaHD-ZIP48, and LBD1 proteins were identified as the most interactive proteins. Additionally, gene duplication analysis revealed that two genes were tandem duplicated, while eight genes were subjected to segmental duplication, underscoring the importance of these genes in the expansion of the HD-ZIP gene family. Expression analysis indicated notable upregulation of the HaHD-ZIP4 gene compared to other analyzed genes under water deficit stress conditions. The results will provide significant insights into the further functional characterization of drought-responsive HaHD-ZIP genes in Sunflower.
