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

Telomerase activity is highly regulated, abundant in rapidly dividing cells and reproductive organs, but undetectable in most other differentiated tissues. Little is known about mechanisms that regulate telomerase. Here, we used a biochemical assay to screen activation-tagged lines of Arabidopsis thaliana for mutants that ectopically express this enzyme in their leaves. In one such mutant, a previously uncharacterized zinc-finger protein we designate TELOMERASE ACTIVATOR1 (TAC1) is overexpressed and induces telomerase in fully differentiated leaves without stimulating progression through the cell cycle. Reducing endogenous concentrations of auxin in the mutant blocks the ability of TAC1 to induce telomerase. This result, along with other phenotypes of the mutant, such as the ability of cells to grow in culture without exogenous auxin and increased sensitivity of primary root growth to exogenous auxin, indicates that TAC1 not only is part of the previously reported link between auxin and telomerase expression but also potentiates other classic responses to this phytohormone.
