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

Two cDNA clones for a pathogen induced genes in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis L. cv. Suzhouqing) were isolated and characterized. The two full-length cDNA clones, designated Bcchi and BcAF were isolated during the resistance response to Peronospora parasitica. Sequence analysis of corresponding cDNA clones confirmed the translation products of both genes showed high degree of homology to other plant chitinases and plant defensins, respectively. Genomic DNA Southern blot analysis indicated that each gene represented a small multi-gene family. Upon inoculation with P. parasitica, both genes transcripts were rapid accumulated in the infected leaves. Tissue-specific expression of both genes showed that 24 h post-inoculation the highest expression tissue of Bcchi mRNA was leaves, and 12 h post-inoculation the highest expression tissue of BcAF mRNA was leaves. These data revealed that both genes may be involved in plant resistance against fungal pathogen infection.
