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

backgroundAnthocyanin is a class of water-soluble pigments with antioxidant activity which enhances the stress tolerance of plants. The destruction of vascular bundles may lead to the accumulation of anthocyanin; however, the response mechanism on this phenomenon in foxtail millet is not well understood.

resultsIn this study, a foxtail millet variety Hong Miao Qi Tou Hong (HMQTH) which displayed increasing anthocyanin accumulation after leaf breakage was investigated. Through transcriptome analysis the gene expression pattern induced by leaf breakage in HMQTH was identified. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were mainly enriched in processes such as stimulus response, antioxidant function and flavonoid biosynthesis. Both the results of RNA-seq and qRT-PCR showed a total of 18 differential genes related to stress response and anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways were identified, including 7 genes involved in flavonoid and anthocyanin synthesis, 6 genes which were related to stress response and 5 genes regulating phytohormone synthesis and ABA signaling.

conclusionThis study uncovered the relationship between plant response to wounding and anthocyanin accumulation in foxtail millet, and provided genetic resources for the molecular breeding of crops with high anthocyanin content.
