The promoter of a Brassica napus lipid transfer protein gene is active in a range of tissues and stimulated by light and viral infection in transgenic Arabidopsis.

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
cDNA and genomic clones encoding Brassica napus non-specific lipid transfer proteins (LTP) were isolated and sequenced. The encoded amino acid sequences were very similar to those reported previously for LTPs from B. napus and other species. Sequence information indicates that B. napus contains an LTP gene family. The 5'-flanking region of one gene, designated BnLTP, was fused to GUS and the fusion introduced into Arabidopsis. LTP transcripts and BnLTP-Gus expression were present predominantly in the epidermis of leaf and stem, consistent with the hypothesised function of LTPs in the deposition of cuticular or epicuticular waxes. However, GUS activity was detected in other tissues, including lateral root initials, anthers, stigmas and vascular tissues, which may suggest additional functions. LTP transcript levels in B. napus and Arabidopsis and BnLTP-GUS expression in transgenic Arabidopsis were stimulated by blue and red light but not UV-B. BnLTP promoter activity was also stimulated upon viral infection, at a time when the virus had spread systemically. No increase in expression was observed in response to cold or wounding.
