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

backgroundElymus sibiricus is widely utilized for establishing of high-yield artificial grasslands due to its remarkable productivity and strong resistance to environmental stresses, making it an excellent forage species. SPL transcription factors play a pivotal role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress. Although the SPL gene family has been identified in many plant species, its presence and function in E. sibiricus remain largely unexplored.

resultThis study presents a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the SPL gene family in E. sibiricus. A total of 37 EsSPL genes were successfully identified. Their chromosomal distribution, gene structure, conserved motifs, cis-acting regulatory elements, and evolutionary relationships were analyzed. Protein-protein interaction network analysis predicted that SOC1 and TOE2 are the primary interacting proteins. Most EsSPL genes exhibited high expression levels in seedling tissues. Additionally, analysis of abiotic stress responses revealed that the expression of multiple EsSPL genes was altered under salt, drought, abscisic acid (ABA), and gibberellin (GA) treatments.

conclusionThrough sequence homology analyses, 37 SPL genes were identified in E. sibiricus. Most SPL family members exhibited high expression levels in seedling tissues, with EsSPL2 specifically upregulated under four distinct abiotic stress conditions. These findings provide a foundation for understanding the genetic evolution and biological functions of the SPL gene family in E. sibiricus, offering valuable insights for future research and breeding efforts.
