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

backgroundOvate Family Proteins (OFPs), a class of plant-specific transcription factors, play vital roles in development and abiotic stress tolerance. However, the OFP family in soybean (Glycine max) has not been extensively studied.

resultsIn this study, a total number of GmOFP genes were identified in soybean genome (42 members, grouped into four clades). qRT-PCR analysis of GmOFPs under GA and salt treatments revealed that GmOFP1b, GmOFP2, and GmOFP7 may be involved in plant height development and salinity response, and were therefore chosen for further study. Overexpression of GmOFP1b in Arabidopsis reduced plant height by ~ 40% and shortened siliques. Furthermore, transgenic plants expressing GmOFP1b, GmOFP2, and GmOFP7 exhibited higher survival rates under salt stress at the seedling stage. Moreover, GmOFP1b interacts with GmKNOX4 proteins, and appears to play a dual role in salt tolerance in mature plants and negatively regulates the expression of GmGA20ox to control plant height.

conclusionsOur findings offer a comprehensive genomic characterization of the OFP gene family in soybean, providing a molecular framework for elucidating the functions of these genes in plant height control and salt stress tolerance.
