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

Oligochitosan has a variety of biological activities. To understand its mechanism, DDRT-PCR, reverse Northern blot and quantitative relative RT-PCR were used to identify and isolate genes whose transcription were altered in cultured Nicotiana tabacum (var. Samsun NN) plants that were treated with oligochitosan. Three genes whose mRNA levels significantly changed in response to oligochitosan were isolated and identified. One gene is up-regulated, and two genes are down-regulated. These genes encode a DNAJ heat shock N-terminal domain-containing protein, a histone H1 gene and a hypothetical protein, whose function is unknown. The results suggest that the usefulness of mRNA differential display technique for the detection of plant metabolic pathways affected by oligochitosan.
