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 Chlamydomonas reinhardtii plastid and mitochondrial transcriptomes were surveyed for changes in RNA profiles resulting from growth in 12 culture conditions representing 8 abiotic stimuli. Organellar RNA abundance exhibited marked changes during nutrient stress and exposure to UV light, as revealed by both RNA gel blot and DNA microarray analyses. Of particular note were large increases in tufA and clpP transcript abundance during nutrient limitation. Phosphate and sulfur limitation resulted in the most global, yet opposite, effects on organellar RNA abundance, changes that were dissected further using run-on transcription assays. Removal of sulfate from the culture medium, which is known to reduce photosynthesis, resulted in 2-fold to 10-fold decreases in transcription rates, which were reflected in lower RNA abundance. The decrease in transcriptional activity was completely reversible and recovered to twice the control level after sulfate replenishment. Conversely, phosphate limitation resulted in a twofold to threefold increase in RNA abundance that was found to be a post-transcriptional effect, because it could be accounted for by increased RNA stability. This finding is consistent with the known metabolic slowdown under phosphate stress. Additionally, inhibitor studies suggested that unlike those in higher plants, Chlamydomonas chloroplasts lack a nucleus-encoded plastid RNA polymerase. The apparently single type of polymerase could contribute to the rapid and genome-wide transcriptional responses observed within the chloroplast.
