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

Plant cells possess three DNA-containing compartments, the nucleus, the mitochondria and the plastids. Accordingly, plastid gene regulation is fairly complex. Albeit plastids retained their own genome and prokaryotic-type gene expression system by a plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP), they need a second nuclear-encoded plastid transcription activity, NEP. Candidate genes for putative NEP catalytic subunits have been cloned in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtRpoTp) and Nicotiana sylvestris (NsRpoTp). To provide evidence for RpoTp as a gene encoding a NEP catalytic subunit, we introduced the AtRpoTp and NsRpoTp cDNAs into the tobacco nucleus under the control of the strong constitutive CaMV 35S promoter. Analysis of transcription from NEP and PEP promoters in these transgenic plants using primer extension assays revealed enhanced transcription from typical type I NEP promoters as PatpB-289 in comparison with the wild type. These data provide direct evidence that RpoTp is a catalytic subunit of NEP and involved in recognition of a distinct subset of type I NEP promoters.
