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

The soybean apyrase, GS52, was previously characterized as an early nodulin that is expressed in roots and localized to the plasma membrane. Transgenic Lotus japonicus plants were constructed constitutively expressing the GS52 apyrase. Segregation and Southern-blot analysis identified four single-copy sense lines, several double-copy sense lines, and one double-copy antisense line for further analysis. The single- and double-copy sense gs52 L. japonicus lines had enhanced nodulation that correlated with expression of the transgene. The sense transgenic lines were also found to have increased infection thread formation and enhanced infection zone length when infected by Mesorhizobium loti, the natural symbiont of L. japonicus. The data presented show that expression of the GS52 apyrase can enhance nodulation in L. japonicus and points to an important role for this group of enzymes in nodulation.
