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 stochastic variability of expression that is a characteristic of eukaryotic nuclear transgenes is often attributed to epigenetic mechanisms that are triggered by repetitive transgene locus structures and influenced by chromosomal position effects. In order to address the contribution of chromosomal position effects in the context of a fully sequenced genome, a novel set of transgene loci was established in the compact genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Transgenes expressing GFP-tagged or GUS-tagged fusion proteins of Arabidopsis COP1 collectively displayed three types of gene silencing, which are distinguished by their developmental timing, gene dosage dependence, (post)transcriptional control, and extent of endogene co-suppression. Subsequently, the heritability of epistatic interactions between allelic and non-allelic transgene loci was investigated in light of both intrinsic transgene features, in particular T-DNA copy number per locus, and chromosomal insertion sites. The notion that chromosomal flanking sequences underlie the ability of transgenes to function as masters or targets of epigenetically heritable trans-silencing interactions was generally not favored by our data. Moreover, among single T-DNA loci at different chromosomal locations the great majority showed homozygosity-dependent posttranscriptional silencing. However, spontaneous silencing (in cis) may be promoted by a pericentromeric location. Instead, intrinsic transgene features correlated with all major aspects of silencing behavior tested.
