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 cold stability of cortical microtubules in root-tip cells of winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv Puma) is altered by growth temperature (GP Kerr, JV Carter [1990] Plant Physiol 93:77-82). One hypothesis for the basis of this alteration is that different tubulin isotypes are present at different growth temperatures, and that the cold stability of microtubules is affected by these isotypic differences. We have explored the first part of this hypothesis by comparing protein extracts from roots of seedlings grown for 2 days at 22 degrees C (nonacclimated) or for an additional 2 or 4 days at 4 degrees C (cold-acclimated). Immunoblots of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels were probed with monoclonal antibodies to alpha- and beta-tubulin. At least six alpha- and seven beta-tubulins were present in the extracts from both the nonacclimated and cold-acclimated roots. Changes in electrophoretic mobility and isotype number of both alpha- and beta-tubulin were observed after only 2 days at 4 degrees C. Further changes in tubulin were observed after 4 days at 4 degrees C. Changes in alpha-tubulin were more pronounced than those in beta-tubulin.
