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

backgroundHeavy metal-associated isoprenylated plant proteins (HIPPs) are a class of metallochaperone proteins crucial for plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, a systematic investigation of the tobacco HIPP family has not been conducted.

resultsIn this study, we identified 68 NtHIPP genes, all of which had conserved heavy metal-associated structural domains and the C-terminal isoprenoid motif CaaX. Phylogenetic analyses categorized NtHIPP genes into five clades, with 37 NtHIPP genes unevenly distributed across 18 tobacco chromosomes. Collinearity relationship analysis revealed that segmental duplication was a major factor in the evolution of these genes, and they exhibit a closer evolutionary relationship to dicots (Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum) compared to monocots (Triticum aestivum and Oryza sativa). RNA-seq data indicated NtHIPP genes had different expression profiles in the shoot apex, shoot, and root, and some genes showing differential expression in response to drought, cold, cadmium stress, and Ralstonia solanacearum infection. Eight NtHIPP genes, as identified via reverse transcription-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), exhibited positive or negative responses to various environmental stimuli under abiotic stress and hormone treatments.

conclusionsThis study elucidates the relationship between NtHIPP genes and plant stress responses, providing new candidates for exploring stress-resistant germplasm resources in tobacco.
