Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of the NHX gene family in oat (Avena sativa L.).
Article in BMC genomics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundSalt stress imposes osmotic imbalance and ion toxicity, severely impairing crop growth and development. Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters (NHXs) play a central role in salt tolerance by mediating sodium transport across cellular membranes.
resultsWe conducted a genome-wide characterization of the NHX gene family in four hexaploid oat cultivars, identifying 126 NHX genes. These were grouped into 33 orthologous gene groups (OGGs), comprising 10 core and 23 dispensable OGGs. The naked oat cultivar ‘Sanfensan (SFS)’ contained the largest number of both total and core NHX genes. Phylogenetic analysis classified AsNHX genes into three classes: vacuolar (Vac-class), endosomal (Endo-class), and plasma membrane (PM-class). Ka/Ks analysis indicated strong purifying selection across most members. Cis-regulatory element analysis revealed abundant stress-related motifs, including abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) response elements, suggesting roles in abiotic stress adaptation. Transcriptome and qRT-PCR data confirmed that AsNHX1/3/7/9/14/23/24/25/32 were up-regulated under salt stress, highlighting their importance in salinity tolerance.
conclusionsThis study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the AsNHX gene family, detailing their evolutionary, structural, and functional features. The findings offer critical insights into salt adaptation mechanisms in oat and identify promising targets for genetic improvement of salinity tolerance.
