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

backgroundCalmodulin (CAMs) and calmodulin-like proteins (CMLs) play pivotal roles in sensing and decoding Ca2+ signals, thereby regulating of various physiological processes. Although CAM/CML genes in numerous plants have been extensively studied, their specific functions and mechanisms in orchids remain unexplored. In order to reveal the characteristics of the CAM/CML family in Cremastra appendiculata, a comprehensive analysis was performed at the genome-wide level, focusing on its physicochemical attributes, phylogenetic associations, gene structure, Cis-acting elements, and qRT-PCR.

resultsA total of 78 CAM/CML genes were identified in C. appendiculata, including five CAPPCAM and 73 CAPPCML, divided into ten subgroups (Subgroup I-X). Subgroups I and II contain one to four coding DNA sequences (CDS), while subgroup IX includes 9 genes with only one CDS and the remaining genes possess 4–12 CDS. The collinearity analysis revealed seven collinear CAM/CML gene pairs between C. appendiculata and Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating the homology of CAM/CML genes between these two species. The cis-elements in the CAPPCAMs/CMLs promoter mainly enrich methyl jasmonate (MeJA) elements (202/1120, 18%). The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the CAPPCAM/CAPPCML gene family plays important roles in responding to mycorrhizal symbiosis. Notably, root tissues demonstrated a marked induction effect upon symbiosis, with gene expression regulation exhibiting distinct tissue specificity.

conclusionsThis study not only lays the foundation for clarifying the functions of such genes in mycorrhizal symbiosis of C. appendiculata, but also highlights its potential for biotechnology development.
