Birch (Betula platyphylla) BES/BZR transcription factor BpBZR1-6 improves salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 is one of the major environmental factors affecting plant growth and productivity. BRI1-EMS suppressor 1/brassinazole-resistant 1 ((BES1/BZR1) plays an important role in responding to abiotic stress in plants. Although the impacts of BES1/BZR1 on plant growth and resistance have been documented, the potential mechanisms are not fully elucidated in Betula platyphylla. This work contributes to the understanding of how BES1/BZR1 promotes stress tolerance in woody plants.
resultsSix BES1/BZR1 family members were identified from Betula platyphylla. Cis-element analysis showed that the promoters of six genes were rich in ABA-responsive element (ABRE), MYB and MBS cis-acting elements, which are reported to be involved in abiotic stress responses. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis indicated that BpBZR1-6 (BPChr10G06000) could be induced by salt stress, ABA and BRs. BpBZR1-6 was localized in the nucleus and had transactivation activity. Ectopic expression of BpBZR1-6 enhanced Arabidopsis tolerance and decreased abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity under salt treatment. Specifically, the seed germination rate, root length, fresh weight and chlorophyll content were significantly higher in BpBZR1-6-overexpressing (OE) transgenic plants than in wild-type (WT) plants after salt stress (P < 0.05). Additionally, BpBZR1-6 overexpression showed enhanced the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability under salt stress, including increasing the activities of antioxidant enzyme, resulting in a decrease in O
conclusionBpBZR1-6 overexpression enhanced the salt tolerance of transgenic plants by modulating antioxidant enzyme gene expression and ROS scavenging, which may provide underlying strategy for breeding of salt-tolerant plants.
