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 interaction between two phytohormones, gibberellins (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), is an important factor regulating the developmental transition from seed dormancy to germination. In cereal aleurone tissue, GA induces and ABA suppresses the expression of alpha-amylases that are essential for the utilization of starch stored in the endosperm. In this work, the signaling pathways mediated by these hormones were investigated in the aleurone cells of barley seeds using double-stranded RNA interference (RNAi) technology. In this tissue, double-stranded RNA molecules generated from the transient expression of DNA templates caused a sequence-specific suppression of the target genes. We demonstrate that the transcription factor, GAMyb, is not only sufficient but also necessary for the GA induction of alpha-amylase. Another regulatory protein, SLN1, is shown to be a repressor of GA action, and the use of RNAi technology to inhibit the synthesis of SLN1 led to derepression of alpha-amylase even in the absence of GA. However, this effect still was suppressed by ABA. Although the ABA-induced Ser/Thr protein kinase, PKABA1, is known to suppress GA-induced alpha-amylase expression, PKABA1 RNAi did not hamper the inhibitory effect of ABA on the expression of alpha-amylase, indicating that a PKABA1-independent signaling pathway also may exist. We suggest that the generation of specific RNAi in a transient expression approach is a useful technique for elucidating the role of regulatory molecules in biological systems in which conventional mutational studies cannot be performed easily.
