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

Expression of the Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 RNA helicase gene crhC is induced by cold shock. crhC transcripts are not detectable at 30 degrees C but accumulate at 20 degrees C, and levels remain elevated for the duration of the cold stress. Light-derived metabolic capability, and not light per se, is required for crhC transcript accumulation. Enhanced crhC mRNA stability contributes significantly to the accumulation of crhC transcripts, with the crhC half-life increasing sixfold at 20 degrees C. The accumulation is reversible, with the cells responding more rapidly to temperature downshifts than to upshifts, as a result of the lack of active mRNA destabilization and the continuation of crhC transcription, at least transiently, after a temperature upshift. Translational inhibitors do not induce crhC expression to cold shock levels, indicating that inhibition of translation is only one of the signals required to activate the cold shock response in Anabaena. Limited amounts of protein synthesis are required for the cold shock-induced accumulation of crhC transcripts, as normal levels of accumulation occur in the presence of tetracycline but are abolished by chloramphenicol. Regulation of crhC expression may also extend to the translational level, as CrhC protein levels do not correlate completely with the pattern of mRNA transcript accumulation. Our experiments indicate that the regulation of crhC transcript accumulation is tightly controlled by both temperature and metabolic activity at the levels of transcription, mRNA stabilization, and translation.
