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

Hairy root cultures of Catharanthus roseus var. Prabal were established by infecting the leaves with Agrobacterium rhizogenes agropine-type A4 strain. Two hundred and fifty independent root clones were evaluated for growth, morphology, number of integration of Ri T-DNA genes and alkaloid contents. On the basis of growth pattern, type of branching and number of lateral roots we were able to separate the hairy root clones into four categories. However based on the integration of the Ri T(L)-DNA and T(R)-DNA genes, there were only three different categories of independent hairy root clones-C1 (rolA&B(+)/ags(+)), C2 (rolA&B(-)/ags(+)) and C3 (rolA&B(+)/ags(-)). Southern hybridization analysis revealed both single and multiple copies of T-DNA integration in the root clones. The accumulation of considerable amounts of the root-specific alkaloids ajmalicine and serpentine was observed in the presence of both the T(L)-DNA and T(R)-DNA genes (C1) and the T(L)-DNA gene (C3) alone. Two rolA&B(-) but ags(+) clones (C2) accumulated much less or only very negligible amounts of ajmalicine. The possible role of the T(L)-DNA and T(R)-DNA genes on growth and alkaloid accumulation in these root clones is discussed.
