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

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibre initial cells undergo a rapid cellular re-programming around anthesis to form the long cellulose fibres prized for textile manufacture. On the day of anthesis the cotton fibre initial cells balloon out from the ovule surface and so are clearly distinguished from adjacent epidermal pavement cells. To enhance our understanding of the molecular processes that determine which cells become fibres and why adjacent epidermal cells remain in a different developmental state we studied the expression profiles of the two respective cell types. Using laser-capture microdissection, coupled with an in vitro RNA amplification system, we used cDNA microarray slides to profile the gene expression in expanding fibre initials compared to the non-expanding epidermal cells at an early stage just after the fibre initials are discernable. Except for a few regulatory genes, the genes that are up-regulated in the cotton fibre initials relative to epidermal cells predominantly encode proteins involved in generating the components for the extra cell membrane and primary cell wall needed for the rapid cell expansion of the initials. This includes synthesis of enzymes and cell wall proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. An analysis of single channel fluorescence levels confirmed that these classes of genes were also the most highly expressed genes in fibre initials. Genes involved in DNA metabolism were also well represented in the expanding fibre cell, consistent with the limited endoreduplication we previously reported to occur in fibre initial cells.
