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

To elucidate the comprehensive mechanism by which nitric oxide (NO) enhances low-temperature tolerance in cucumber, we utilized two cucumber cultivars (Jinyan No. 4 and Jinyou No. 1) as experimental materials. By integrating transcriptomic analysis with physiological indicators, we investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the NO-mediated improvement of cold tolerance. Both molecular and physiological data revealed that phytohormone signal transduction and alpha-linolenic acid metabolism were significantly affected by low-temperature stress alone and in combination with exogenous SNP treatment in both cultivars. Under low-temperature stress, most transcripts associated with abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis, ABA signal transduction, and flavonoid biosynthesis were coordinately downregulated in cucumber. In contrast, transcripts related to secondary metabolism, lipid metabolism, glutathione biosynthesis, and hormone signal transduction-including salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ETH), gibberellin (GA), and jasmonic acid (JA) pathways-were coordinately upregulated. Additionally, exogenous SNP was found to regulate both phytohormone signal transduction and endogenous hormone levels. These results suggest that exogenous NO improves low-temperature tolerance in cucumber seedlings primarily by modulating phytohormone signaling and secondary metabolism.
