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

CHY zinc finger and RING finger (CHYR) proteins play crucial roles in the growth and development, as well as stress response. To date, no systematic or comprehensive analysis of the CHYR gene family has been performed in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). In this study, we identified 8 CaCHYR genes (CaCHYR1-CaCHYR8), which were classified into 3 groups based on phylogenetic relationships. CaCHYR members within the same group exhibited similar distributions of conserved motifs and exon-intron structures. Chromosomal localization analysis showed that 8 CaCHYR genes were unevenly distributed on 6 chromosomes. Segmental duplication, rather than tandem duplication, was found to be the major contributor to the expansion of this gene family. CaCHYR genes feature a variety of cis-elements involved in developmental processes, phytohormone responses, and stress adaptation. Expression analysis based on RNA-seq data revealed that CaCHYR genes exhibited distinct spatial expression patterns across different tissues and in response to Phytophthora capsici infection (PCI), and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) further confirmed that three of them (CaCHYR2, CaCHYR3, and CaCHYR5) exhibited altered expression under PCI. Furthermore, transient overexpression of CaCHYR5 in pepper leaves increased susceptibility to PCI, suggesting its potential negative regulatory role in pepper defense against P. capsici. Collectively, these findings reveal the expression patterns and regulatory functions of pepper CHYR genes in growth and development, laying a groundwork for breeding pepper cultivars tolerant to PCI.
