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

Drought and salt stresses impose serious effects on plant proliferation and development, with multiple categories of transcription factors (TFs) playing important regulatory effects in modulation stress reaction. In this study, the apple R2R3 MYB TF, MdMYB73L, was cloned and characterized its role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance. Firstly, expression assays demonstrated that the transcript levels of MdMYB TFs changed substantially under salt and drought stresses. Subsequently, MdMYB73L-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis, apple calli and tomato plants all showed increased sensitivity to salt and drought treatments, manifesting as short roots and severe growth inhibition compared to controls. These results demonstrate that MdMYB73L functions as a key negative regulator in the response to drought and salt stresses. Overall, these research not only demonstrate the specific function of a MYB TF in stress responses but also provide a crucial framework for elucidating the broader effects of the apple MYB family in abiotic stress tolerance.
