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

Cytokinins and light activate the transcription of the cucumber NADPH-protochlorophyllide reductase (POR) gene. We have previously reported that 2.3 kb of the 5'-region of this gene contains a cis-element that is responsive to cytokinin. In this study, to identify the cytokinin-responsive cis-element corresponding to chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development, we performed transient expression assays in etiolated cucumber cotyledons. A 5'-deletional analysis indicated that a 411-bp fragment (-451 to -40 bp) contained at least one of the cis-elements related to cytokinin-responsiveness. Gel mobility shift assays also detected cytokinin-enhanced binding in this region. DNase I footprinting analysis, using a 150-bp fragment (-490 to -340 bp) as the probe, identified the cytokinin-enhanced protected sequence as 5'-ATATTAGTGATAT-3'. More detailed gel mobility shift and competition analyses identified 5'-TATTAG-3' as the sequence critical for cytokinin-enhanced binding. Mutations in the identified sequence in the transient expression assay caused a reduced but retained cytokinin-responsiveness, as well as low reporter activity of untreated control. These results suggest that the identified sequence is a novel cis-element exhibiting cytokinin-dependent protein binding in vitro, which may function effectively when interacting with other cytokinin-related elements. The effects of this element on the chloroplast development are discussed in relation to other cytokinin-related elements.
