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

We report the initial characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA (atdrg1), a member of a new class of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) in plants. The predicted ATDRG1 protein contains all five structural motifs characteristic of the G-protein superfamily. Apart from these motifs, the amino acid sequence differs substantially from all known G-proteins except for a recently discovered new family named developmentally regulated G-proteins (DRGs). Sequences closely related to atdrg1 are found in species as distant as human (80% amino acid conservation), Drosophila (74%), yeast (77%) and Caenorhabditis elegans (77%). The remarkable evolutionary conservation of these proteins suggests an important, but as yet unclear role. Phylogenetic analysis of the available homologous sequences strongly suggests a diphyletic origin of the eukaryotic DRG proteins. Northern analysis shows high levels of atdrg1 mRNA in all Arabidopsis tissues studied, and homologues of atdrg1 are present throughout the plant kingdom. In situ hybridization reveals that atdrg1 is highly expressed in actively growing tissues and reproductive organs. Southern analysis indicates the presence of either one or two copies of atdrg1 in the Arabidopsis genome. Immunolocalization studies show that the protein is present in cytoplasmic vesicles found mainly in actively growing tissues suggesting a putative role for ATDRG1 in either the regulation of vesicle transport or the regulation of enzymes involved in storage protein processing.
