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 root-hypocotyl of Arabidopsis produces a relatively large amount of secondary vascular tissue when senescence is delayed by the removal of inflorescences, and plants are grown at low population density. Peptidase zymograms prepared from isolated xylem and phloem revealed the existence of distinct proteolytic enzyme profiles within these tissues. cDNA libraries were constructed from isolated xylem and bark of the root-hypocotyl and screened for cDNAs coding for cysteine, serine, and aspartic peptidases. Three cDNAs, two putative papain-type cysteine peptidases (XCP1 and XCP2) and one putative subtilisin-type serine peptidase (XSP1), were identified from the xylem library for further analysis. Using RNA gel blots it was determined that these peptidases were expressed in the xylem and not in the bark. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction confirmed the RNA gel-blot results and revealed high levels of XCP1 and XCP2 mRNA in stems and flowers of the infloresence. A poly-histidine-tagged version of XCP1 was purified from Escherichia coli by denaturing metal-chelate chromatography. Following renaturation, the 40-kD recombinant XCP1 was not proteolytically active. Activation was achieved by incubation of recombinant XCP1 at pH 5.5 and was dependent on proteolytic processing of the 40-kD inactive polypeptide to a 26-kD active peptidase.
