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

Mechanical signals are important both as environmental and endogenous developmental cues in plants. Among the quickest measurable responses to mechanical stimulation (MS) in plants is the up-regulation of specific genes, including TCH3, in Arabidopsis. Little is known about the signaling events and components that link perception of mechanical signals to gene expression in plants. Calcium has been identified previously as being potentially involved, and a role for ethylene has also been suggested. Using the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine, we determined that MS up-regulation of TCH3 expression requires protein kinase activity in young Arabidopsis seedlings. Our data from studies on the Arabidopsis ein6 mutant demonstrate that the EIN6 protein is also required, but that its role in mechanically induced TCH3 expression appears to be independent of ethylene. Challenge of seedlings with protein phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A and okadaic acid stimulated TCH3 expression even in the absence of MS, implying protein phosphatase activity acting to negatively regulate TCH3 gene expression. This phosphatase activity acts either downstream or independently of EIN6. EIN6 and protein kinase activity, on the other hand, operate downstream of calcium to mediate mechanically stimulated TCH3 expression.
