Specific function of a plastid sigma factor for ndhF gene transcription.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers.
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.
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 complexity of the plastid transcriptional apparatus (two or three different RNA polymerases and numerous regulatory proteins) makes it very difficult to attribute specific function(s) to its individual components. We have characterized an Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion line disrupting the nuclear gene coding for one of the six plastid sigma factors (SIG4) that regulate the activity of the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase PEP. This mutant shows a specific diminution of transcription of the plastid ndhF gene, coding for a subunit of the plastid NDH [NAD(P)H dehydrogenase] complex. The absence of another NDH subunit, i.e. NDHH, and the absence of a chlorophyll fluorescence transient previously attributed to the activity of the plastid NDH complex indicate a strong down-regulation of NDH activity in the mutant plants. Results suggest that plastid NDH activity is regulated on the transcriptional level by an ndhF-specific plastid sigma factor, SIG4.
