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

A novel LTP (CcLTP) from a Capsicum chinense cv Habanero was isolated from a fruit-specific SSH library. While this gene shares similarity with other LTPs, it is considerably larger than any lipid transfer protein reported to date and has a neutral predicted pI. CcLTP is consistently expressed in seedlings from three Capsicum species. It is also present at very high levels in ripening and mature fruit in C. chinense, but not in fruit of any C. annuum or C. frutescens varieties examined. We have obtained 3.8 kb of sequence containing the CcLTP gene and isolated two forms of mRNA transcripts which result from an alternative splicing event. Both transcripts are full-length cDNAs with putative open reading frames of 492 bp and 519 bp, encoding proteins of 164 and 173 amino acids, respectively, which differ only by an insertion of 9 amino acids. Both splice variants are detected consistently via RT-PCR. A 19 bp deletion in the promoter region differentiates C. chinense CcLTP from that of C. annuum and C. frutescens. The protein and its expression are characterized in C. chinense fruit, and a possible role in pepper fruit ripening and maturation is discussed.
