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

The acs1 knockout mutant that has a disruption in the plastidic acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase (ACS; At5g36880) gene was used to explore the role of this protein and plastidic acetate metabolism in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Disruption of the ACS gene decreased ACS activity by 90% and largely blocked the incorporation of exogenous (14)C-acetate and (14)C-ethanol into fatty acids. Whereas the disruption had no significant effect on the synthesis of bulk seed triacylglycerols, the acs1 plants were smaller and flowered later. This suggests that the pyruvate dehydrogenase bypass provided by the aerobic fermentation pathway that converts pyruvate to acetate and probably on to fatty acids is important to the plants during normal growth. The role of ACS in destroying fermentative intermediates is supported by the increased sensitivity of the acs1 mutant to exogenous acetate, ethanol, and acetaldehyde compared to wild-type plants. Whereas these observations suggest that flux through the aerobic fermentation pathway is important, the reason for this flux is unclear. Interestingly, acetate is able to support high rates of plant growth on medium and this growth is blocked in the acs1 mutant.
