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

Phenylarsine oxide (PAO) and genistein are two well-known specific inhibitors of tyrosine phosphatases and kinases, respectively, that have been used in the functional analysis of the status of protein phosphotyrosine in different cell types. Our experiments showed that both PAO and genistein arrested pollen germination and pollen tube growth and led to the malformation of the pollen tubes, although genistein had a lesser effect. The malformations of the pollen tubes caused by PAO and genistein were, however, quite different. In addition, it was found that the rate of pollen germination and tube growth recovered to a certain extent when phalloidin was present during PAO treatment, but not when it was present during genistein treatment. Furthermore, PAO treatment also had a great effect on the dynamic organization of filamentous actin in the pollen grain and pollen tube, while genistein only caused reorganization of actin at the turning point of the pollen tube. Our results suggest that reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a crucial step in pollen germination and pollen tube growth, but that tyrosine kinases and phosphatases may have different effects which may function through the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
