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

backgroundTrihelix is a class of transcription factors unique to plants that play a major role in abiotic and biotic stress responses, seed isolate development, floral organ morphogenesis, and plant photomorphogenesis. Nevertheless, the Trihelix transcription factor family in Vitis amurensis Rupr. (V. amurensis) has not been systematically characterized.

resultsIn this study, 31 VaTrihelix genes were identified in V. amurensis, unevenly distributed across 16 chromosomes with phenomena of clustering. These genes encode hydrophilic proteins (158-858 amino acids) rich in α-helices, predominantly localized in the nucleus. Proteins sharing similar conserved motifs are grouped together phylogenetically. Cis-acting element analysis revealed numerous cis-acting elements associated with environmental and hormonal responses. Phylogenetic analysis of Trihelix members from V. amurensis, Vitis vinifera L. (V. vinifera), V. amurensis, Oryza sativa L. (O. sativa), and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (A. thaliana) were divided them into four subclades. Interspecies collinearity indicated greater homology between V. amurensis and dicots (V. vinifera and A. thaliana) than with the monocot O. sativa. Purifying selection acted on VaTrihelix genes during evolution. Predicted protein interactions were observed among some family members. RT-PCR analysis showed that VaTrihelix15, VaTrihelix23, and VaTrihelix30 were upregulated under all four low-temperature stress conditions. the expression levels of VaTrihelix5, VaTrihelix6, VaTrihelix7, VaTrihelix9, VaTrihelix15, VaTrihelix19, VaTrihelix20, VaTrihelix25, VaTrihelix27, VaTrihelix28, VaTrihelix29, VaTrihelix30, and VaTrihelix31 under -5 °C and -10℃ stress showed significant differences compared to the control (A).

conclusionsThis study preliminarily characterized the fundamental bioinformatic information of VaTrihelix transcription factors and revealed the potential roles of the Trihelix family transcription factors under low-temperature stress. The findings provided a theoretical foundation and candidate genes for future cold resistance breeding in grapevine.
