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

backgroundElymus sibiricus is widely utilized for establishing of high-yield artificial grasslands due to its remarkable productivity and strong resistance to environmental stresses, making it an excellent forage species. GRAS transcription factors play a pivotal role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress. Although the GRAS gene family has been identified in various plant species, its identification and function in E. sibiricus remain largely unexplored.

resultA comprehensive genome-wide analysis identified a total of 130 EsGRAS genes in E. sibiricus. Comprehensive analyses, including chromosomal distribution, gene structure, conserved motifs, cis-acting regulatory elements and evolutionary relationships, were conducted. Protein-protein interaction network analysis predicted that GID1, GA2OX, GA3OX, PAT1, PHYA, and NSP2 may serve as central nodes in GRAS-mediated regulatory pathways. Expression profiling revealed that most EsGRAS geneswere highly expressed in seedling tissues. Additionally, multiple EsGRAS genes showed differential expression in response to salt, drought, ABA, and GA treatments, indicating their potential involvement in abiotic stress tolerance.

conclusionThe study systematically characterized the GRAS gene family in E. sibiricus. Identifying 130 members and revealing their diverse structural features and expression patterns. Notably, EsGRAS128, EsGRAS90, EsGRAS95, and EsGRAS113 genes exhibited both constitutive expression and strong responsiveness under multiple abiotic stresses, suggesting their potential regulatory roles. These findings provide a foundation for understanding the genetic evolution and biological functions of the GRAS gene family in E. sibiricus, for further functional studies and may facilitate molecular breeding strategies to enhance stress resilience in E. sibiricus and related forage species.
