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

Carotenoids act as the precursors of vitamin A and natural antioxidants, which benefit human health. The APETALA2/Ethylene Responsive Factor (AP2/ERF), as a transcription factor family, involved in various biological processes of higher plants, such as playing a key role in regulation of effective carotenoid accumulation. Several reports showed that plant's AP2/ERF transcription factors (TFs) could response to various stresses, plant morphogenesis, hormone signal transduction and metabolite regulation. Nevertheless, the understanding of the regulatory mechanism of AP2/ERF TF in marine microalga Dunaliella parva (D. parva) has been much more limited, which remains to be elucidated. Here, DpAP2 gene belonging to AP2/ERF family was identified in D. parva. To reveal the function of DpAP2, the targets of DpAP2 were identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing. The results showed that 902 DpAP2-binding genes were identified by ChIP sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses. Gene enrichment analysis indicated that these binding genes were related to RNA transport, carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, fatty acid metabolism and other functions. Most of these identified genes were reported to involve in carotenoid biosynthesis. In addition, DpAP2-regulated target genes participated in carbohydrate metabolism (including starch and sucrose metabolism, photosynthesis, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and tricarboxylic acid cycle) to improve the production of carotenoid. DpAP2-regulated target genes related to carotenoid biosynthesis (such as Z-ISO, CRTISO and AOG) to promote the content of carotenoids. The studies of DpAP2 in D. parva will provide an important foundation for a deep understanding of the regulatory mechanism and microalgal breeding.
