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

We investigated the potential of a novel double T-DNA vector for generating marker-free transgenic plants. Co-transformation methods using a double T-DNA vector or using mixture of two Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains were compared, and showed that the double T-DNA vector method could produce marker-free transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants more efficiently. A dual marker double T-DNA vector was then constructed by assembling the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene mgfp5 and the neomycin phosphotransferase gene nptII into the same T-DNA. The frequency of co-transformants produced by this vector was 56.3%. Co-expression of mgfp5 and nptII was found in 28 out of 29 T1 lines, and segregation of the reporter beta-glucuronidase gene, gusA, from mgfp5 to nptII was found in 12 out of 29 T1 lines. Therefore, GFP could be used as a vital marker to improve the transformation efficiency and to easily monitor the segregation of marker genes, thus facilitating screening of marker-free progeny.
