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

Introduction: The AINTEGUMENTA/AINTEGUMENTA-like (ANT/AIL) family belongs to the APETALA 2/ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR superfamily and plays a key role in regulating numerous developmental processes. Only limited research has been conducted on the ANT family in upland cotton ( Methods: Using phylogenetic trees explored the evolution of the ANT family. Using RNA sequencing data analyzed the expression of ANT/AILs in different cotton tissues. Using yeast two-hybrid (Y2H), dual-luciferase complementation assay (LUC) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) explored the interaction protein with GhAIL6. Using CRISPR-cas9 technology explored the regulation of GhAIL6-GhTPL1 module. Results: The ANT family originated in Bryophytes. A rapid expansion of ANT members occurred in the common ancestor of angiosperms, with the total number remaining stable in both Monocots and Eudicots. Cotton contained 20 ANT genes, as a duplication event in its ancestors led to expansion of AIL6/AIL7. Editing of GhAIL6 and GhTPL1 in upland cotton demonstrated AIL6-TPL1 module to regulate seed index (SI) and lint percentage (LP). Y2H, LUC and BiFC supported the interaction between GhAIL6 and GhTPL1. Discussion: Overall, this study offered a novel insight into the evolutionary dynamics of ANT family members and length. Edited cotton lines of GhAIL6 and GhTPL1, LP was significantly higher than in the control group, and SI significantly lower than in the control group. This study provided a new GhAIL6-GhTPL1 module for high-yield cotton breeding.
