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

Arabidopsis chloroplasts have a multi-layered defense against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) that includes a stromal and thylakoid ascorbate peroxidase (sAPX and tAPX). Single and double null mutants in SAPX and TAPX (sapx and tapx) were each crossed with ascorbate deficient vtc2. The single, double and triple mutants did not show visual light stress phenotypes when grown at control or high light intensities (CL and HL; 120 and 1,000 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1)). Upon shift from CL to HL, mesophyll of expanded leaves of the triple mutant bleached within hours, with exclusion of the major vein areas; this contrasts to reported patterns of cell death under ozone treatment and calatase deficiency. tapx-vtc2 and sapx-vtc2, but not tapx-sapx or single mutants, showed limited bleaching. Bleaching and necrosis were accompanied by accumulation of H(2)O(2). Cellular concentrations of alpha-tocopherol, ascorbate and glutathione showed dramatic increase in response to HL in all eight genotypes and the four vtc2 genotypes accumulated more glutathione under CL than the others. Transcript analysis of other ROS responsive genes in vtc2 and the triple mutant showed up to 20-fold induction after transition to HL, generally irrespective of genotype. We conclude that chloroplast APX proteins in Arabidopsis can be effectively compensated by other endogenous H(2)O(2) detoxification systems, but that low cellular ascorbate levels in absence of chloroplast APX activity are detrimental to the cell during excess light.
