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

Transient gene expression assays are often used to screen promoters before stable transformation. Current transient quantification methods have several problems, including a lack of reporter gene stability and expense. Here we report a synthetic, codon-optimised xylanase gene ( sXynA) as a reporter gene for quantitative transient analyses in plants. Azurine-crosslinked xylan (AZCL-xylan) was used as a substrate for assaying xylanase activity. The enzymatic nature of the protein allows for sensitive assays at the low levels of transgene protein found in transiently transformed tissue extracts. The xylanase (XYN) protein is stable, activity slopes are linear over long time periods and assays are cost-effective. Coupled with the GUS Plus reporter gene, the XYN reporter allows sensitive and accurate quantification of gene control sequences in transient expression systems.
