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 examined the expression of a family of Arabidopsis response regulators (ARR) and found that the steady-state levels of RNA for most are elevated very rapidly by cytokinin. Using nuclear run-on assays we demonstrated that this increase in ARR transcript levels in response to cytokinin is due, at least in part, to increased transcription. The start site of transcription for the ARR5 gene was identified using primer extension analysis. A DNA fragment comprised of 1.6 kb upstream of the ARR5 transcript start site conferred cytokinin-inducible gene expression when fused to a beta-glucuronidase reporter, confirming that the transcription rate of ARR5 is elevated by cytokinin. This reporter construct was also used to examine the spatial pattern of ARR5 expression. The highest levels of expression were observed in the root and shoot apical meristems, at the junction of the pedicle and the silique, and in the central portion of mature roots. The expression of ARR5 in the apical meristems was confirmed by whole mount in situ analysis of seedlings and is consistent with a role for cytokinin in regulating cell division in vivo.
