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 understanding of the complexities and molecular events regulating genes and the activators involved in terpenoid indole alkaloid (TIA) metabolism is known to a certain extent in cell cultures of an important TIA yielding plant, Catharanthus roseus, though it is not yet complete. Recently, the repressors of early TIA pathway genes have also been identified. However, their roles in the regulation of TIA pathway in C. roseus cell cultures remains yet unknown. We have made a comparative profiling of genes catalyzing the important steps of 2-C methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP), shikimate and TIA biosynthetic pathways, their activator and repressors using macroarray, semiquantitative RT-PCR and northern analyses in a rotation culture system of C. roseus comprising differentiated and proliferated cells. Our results demonstrate that TIA biosynthetic pathway genes and their activators show variable expression pattern, which was correlated with the changes in the cellular conditions in these systems. Under similar conditions, TIA pathway repressors show strong and consistent expression. The role of repressors in the complex regulation of the TIA pathway in C. roseus cell cultures is discussed. The results were supported by HPLC data, which demonstrated that the molecular program of cellular differentiation is intimately linked with TIA pathway gene expression and TIA production in C. roseus cell cultures.
