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

More volatile organic carbon is lost from plants as isoprene than any other molecule. This flux of carbon to the atmosphere affects atmospheric chemistry and can serve as a substrate for ozone production in polluted air. Isoprene synthesis may help leaves cope with heatflecks and active oxygen species. Isoprene synthase, an enzyme related to monoterpene synthases, converts dimethylallyl diphosphate derived from the methylerythritol 4-phosphate pathway to isoprene. We used dideuterated deoxyxylulose (DOX-d(2)) to study the regulation of the isoprene biosynthetic pathway. Exogenous DOX-d(2) displaced endogenous sources of carbon for isoprene synthesis without increasing the overall rate of isoprene synthesis. However, at higher concentrations, DOX-d(2) completely suppressed isoprene synthesis from endogenous sources and increased the overall rate of isoprene synthesis. We interpret these results to indicate strong feedback control of deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase. We related the emission of labeled isoprene to the concentration of labeled dimethylallyl diphosphate in order to estimate the in situ K(m) of isoprene synthase. The results confirm that isoprene synthase has a K(m) 10- to 100-fold higher for its allylic diphosphate substrate than related monoterpene synthases for geranyl diphosphate.
