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

Lumnitzera littorea (Jack) Voigt is a true mangrove species of important ecological and medicinal values; however, it is highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations and is currently endangered in China. Thus, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying its stress tolerance is essential not only for its conservation, but also for identifying valuable genetic resources to improve plant resilience to stresses. NAC transcription factors represent a major family involved in regulating plant responses to abiotic stressors. In this study, a total of 84 NAC genes were identified in the L. littorea genome, which were categorized into 16 subfamilies. These genes were unevenly distributed across the 12 chromosomes, with dispersed duplication identified as the primary driver for the expansion of L. littorea NAC (LliNAC) gene family. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that 34 LliNAC genes were up-regulated in L. littorea in response to cold stress. Among these, LliNAC80 emerged as a key regulator of the transcriptional remodeling of genes associated with chilling sensing, antioxidation, and osmoprotection. Furthermore, overexpression of LliNAC80 substantially enhanced the tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings to low temperature, hyper-salinity, and osmotic stress. These findings highlight the functional importance of LliNAC genes in environmental adaptation of L. littorea, and identify LliNAC80 as a promising candidate for future bioengineering-based improvement of stress resilience in mangroves and crops.
