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

Chlorophyll is an important nutrient in celery and one of the main indexes of quality evaluation. RNA editing in chloroplasts is an important factor affecting chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis. Multisite organelle RNA editing factor (MORF) protein is a necessary regulator of chloroplast RNA editing. In this study, a total of 8 MORF genes in celery were identified, which were named AgMORF1a, AgMORF1b, AgMORF2a, AgMORF2b, AgMORF3, AgMORF7, AgMORF8 and AgMORF9 according to their subfamily classification. The physicochemical property, conserved motifs, cis-acting elements and protein interaction were predicted according to the sequences. The phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary selective pressure between MORF genes in celery and other Apiaceae plants were further analyzed. The results showed that AgMORF1b, AgMORF2a, AgMORF2b and AgMORF9 were predicted to be localized in chloroplasts. The evolution of MORF genes in 4 Apiaceae plants including celery, carrot, coriander and water dropwort was influenced by purify selection. Transcriptome data showed that the transcriptional levels of AgMORF2a, AgMORF2b, AgMORF8 and AgMORF9 were relatively higher among all MORF genes in petioles of celery, indicating their major role. RT-qPCR data showed that the expression levels of the above 4 genes were significantly higher in petioles of green celery than those of white celery. This study provided a basis for analyzing the effects of MORF proteins on chloroplast development of celery with different chlorophyll accumulation.
