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

The negatively photoregulated PHYA gene has a complex promoter structure in Arabidopsis, with three active transcription start sites. To identify the photoreceptors responsible for regulation of this gene, and to assess the relative roles of the three transcription start sites, we analyzed the changes in PHYA transcript levels in wild-type and photoreceptor mutant seedlings under various irradiation conditions. Continuous far-red or red light exposures each induced a significant decline in transcript levels in wild-type etiolated seedlings. Analysis of mutants specifically lacking either phyA or phyB protein demonstrated that these phytochromes are required for the negative regulation induced by far-red and red light, respectively. Ribonuclease protection experiments showed further that this negative regulation is confined almost exclusively to the shortest, most abundant PHYA transcript, and occurs predominantly in shoots. By contrast, both of the other minor transcripts in shoots, and all three transcripts in roots, exhibit near constitutive expression. This complex expression pattern indicates that the PHYA gene is subject to regulation by multiple signals, including environmental, developmental, and organ-specific signals.
