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

Plastid mRNA stability is tightly regulated by external signals such as light. We have investigated the biochemical mechanism responsible for the dark-induced decrease of relative half-lives for mRNAs encoding photosynthetic proteins. Protein fractions isolated from plastids of light-grown and dark-adapted plants correctly reproduced an RNA degradation pathway in the dark that is downregulated in the light. This dark-dependent pathway is initiated by endonucleolytic cleavages in the petD mRNA precursor substrate proximal to a region that can fold into a stem-loop structure. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) polyadenylation activity was strongly increased in the protein fraction isolated from plastids in dark-adapted plants, but interestingly PNPase activity was not required for the initiation of dark-induced mRNA degradation. A protein factor present in the protein fraction from plastids of light-grown plants could inactivate the endonuclease activity and thereby stabilize the RNA substrate in the protein fraction from plastids of dark-adapted plants. The results show that plastid mRNA stability is effectively controlled by the regulation of a specific dark-induced RNA degradation pathway.
