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 photosynthetic chloroplast mutant G64 of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was shown to contain a single point mutation within the 5' region of the psbD gene encoding the D2 protein of the photosystem II reaction center. The mutation affects the sequence element TATAATAT which has previously been hypothesized to function as the psbD promoter. Run-on analysis confirmed that transcription of psbD in the mutant was reduced to approximately 10% of the wild-type level. However, psbD mRNA accumulated to approximately 35%, despite the prominent decrease in RNA synthesis. This suggests that RNA-stabilization effects can compensate to some extent for a reduction in transcriptional activity. Interestingly, a direct correlation between transcript levels and the accumulation of the psbD gene product, the D2-protein, was observed in G64. The data suggest that posttranscriptionally acting regulatory factors determine the rate-limiting steps of chloroplast psbD gene expression.
