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

backgroundYABBYs are plant-specific transcription factors that play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. Despite extensive studies in various plant species, a systematic analysis of YABBYs in wheat grains is still lacking.

resultsIn this study, 21 TaYABBYs were identified using the Chinese Spring wheat genome database and were divided into four subfamilies through phylogenetic analysis. Gene collinearity analysis revealed the evolutionary characteristics of the TaYABBYs. Analysis of cis-acting elements in the promoter region identified elements related to endosperm development. SNP analysis uncovered genetic variations within the YABBY gene family. Meanwhile, RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR techniques were employed to explore the expression patterns of TaYABBYs, and the results showed that these genes are differentially expressed in different wheat tissues. Additionally, we selected TaYABBY4A from the CRC subfamily for overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana to verify the function of TaYABBYs. Overexpression of the TaYABBY4A in Arabidopsis resulted in delayed bolting and flowering, as well as reductions in the number and diameter of rosette leaves and seed size.

conclusionsThis study further confirms that the YABBY gene family plays an important regulatory role in the growth and development of wheat, providing a reference for in-depth exploration of the functions of YABBYs in wheat.
