Structure and differential expression of the four members of the Arabidopsis thaliana ferritin gene family.

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
Four ferritin genes are found within the complete sequence of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. All of them are expressed and their corresponding cDNA species have been cloned. The polypeptide sequences deduced from these four genes confirm all the properties of the ferritin subunits described so far, non-exhaustively, from various plant species. All are predicted to be targeted to the plastids, which is consistent with the existence of a putative transit peptide at their N-terminal extremity. They also all possess a conserved extension peptide in the mature subunit. Specific residues for ferroxidase activity and iron nucleation, which are found respectively in H-type or L-type ferritin subunits in animals, are both conserved within each of the four A. thaliana ferritin polypeptides. In addition, the hydrophilic nature of the plant ferritin E-helix is conserved in the four A. thaliana ferritin subunits. Besides this strong structural conservation, the four genes are differentially expressed in response to various environmental signals, and during the course of plant growth and development. AtFer1 and AtFer3 are the two major genes expressed in response to treatment with an iron overload. Under our experimental conditions, AtFer4 is expressed with different kinetics and AtFer2 is not responsive to iron. H(2)O(2) activates the expression of AtFer1 and, to a smaller extent, AtFer3. Abscisic acid promotes the expression of only AtFer2, which is consistent with the observation that this is the only gene of the four to be expressed in seeds, whereas AtFer1, AtFer4 and AtFer3 are expressed in various vegetative organs but not in seeds.
