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

backgroundSWEET (Sugar Will Eventually be Exported Transporter) proteins play vital roles in the transport of sugars, contributing to the regulation of plant development, hormone signaling, and responses to abiotic stress.

resultsIn this study, we identified 57 NtSWEETs in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), and then their physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, synteny, phylogenetic relationships, genomic structure, promoter cis-elements, protein interaction network, tissue specificity, and expression pattern were systematically analyzed. In addition, NtSWEET12i improves drought and saline-alkali tolerance in tobacco by enhancing soluble sugars transport, ABA signaling, proline biosynthesis, and ROS scavenging. These findings illuminate the role of NtSWEETs, particularly NtSWEET12i, in regulating plant tolerance to drought and saline-alkali stresses.

conclusionsThis study offers new insights to enhance our understanding of the roles of NtSWEETs and identify potential genes involved in drought and saline-alkali tolerance of plants. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
