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

Although present in different organisms and conserved in their protein sequence, the biological functions of T2 ribonucleases (RNase) are generally unknown. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) LX is a T2/S-like RNase and its expression is known to be associated with phosphate starvation, ethylene responses, and senescence and programmed cell death. In this study, LX function was investigated using antisense tomato plants in which the LX protein level was reduced. LX protein levels normally become elevated when leaves senesce and antisense inhibition of LX retarded the progression of senescence. Moreover, we observed a marked delay of leaf abscission in LX-deficient plants. This correlated with specific induction of LX protein in the tomato mature abscission zone tissue. LX RNase gene regulation and the consequences of antisense inhibition indicate that LX has an important functional role in both abscission and senescence.
