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

Invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) plays a key role in carbon utilization as it catalyzes the irreversible hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. The invertase family in plants is composed of two sub-families thought to have distinct evolutionary origins and can be distinguished by their pH optima for activity: acid invertases and neutral/alkaline invertases. The acid invertases apparently originated in eubacteria and are targeted to the cell wall and vacuole, while neutral/alkaline invertases apparently originated in cyanobacteria and function in the cytosol. The recently sequenced genome of Populus trichocharpa (Torr. and Gray) allowed us to identify the genes encoding invertase in this woody perennial. Here we describe the identification of eight acid invertase genes; three of which belong to the vacuolar targeted group (PtVIN1-3), and five of which belong to the cell wall targeted group (PtCIN1-5). Similarly, we report the identification of 16 neutral/alkaline invertase genes (PtNIN1-16). Expression analyses using whole genome microarrays and RT-PCR reveal evidence for expression of all invertase family members. An examination of the micro-syntenic regions surrounding the poplar invertase genes reveals extensive colinearity with Arabidopsis invertases. We also find evidence for expression of a novel intronless vacuolar invertase (PtVIN1), which apparently arose from a processed PtVIN2 transcript that re-inserted into the genome. To our knowledge, this is the first intronless invertase found in plants. This work increases the understanding of the role this family plays in carbon allocation and partitioning in forest trees as well as its evolutionary development.
