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

backgroundPowdery mildew (PM), mainly caused by Podosphaera xanthii, is a severe biotrophic pathogen disease of global Cucurbitaceae vegetables. However, Cucurbita moschata (pumpkin) strongly resists PM and shows wide adaptability. WRKY transcription factors participate in plant response to pathogen stresses, but the function of WRKY genes under PM stress in pumpkins is largely unknown.

resultsIn this study, 98 members of the CmWRKYs family were identified in the genome of C. moschata and categorized into three groups. CmWRKY promoter regions contained many cis-regulatory elements closely related to light, hormone, and stress responses. A segmental duplication event drove the expansion of the pumpkin CmWRKY genes, and the WRKY genes were highly conserved in pumpkin and cucumber. Additionally, the expression of 13 CmWRKY genes was altered following PM infection, of which five CmWRKY genes were induced, while CmWRKY84 and 92 simultaneously responded to salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H

conclusionsA genome-wide analysis of the WRKY family in C. moschata identified the involvement of CmWRKY22/63/84 in the PM resistance. Our results contribute to research on the function of CmWRKY genes in the pumpkin resistance to PM.
