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 phenylpropanoid pathway is used in biosynthesis of a wide range of soluble secondary metabolites including hydroxycinnamic acid esters, flavonoids and the precursors of lignin and lignans. In Arabidopsis thaliana a small cluster of three closely related genes, UGT72E1-E3, encode glycosyltransferases (GTs) that glucosylate phenylpropanoids in vitro. This study explores the effect of constitutively over-expressing two of these GTs (UGT72E1 and E3) in planta using the CaMV-35S promoter to determine whether phenylpropanoid homeostasis can be altered in a similar manner to that achieved by over-expression of UGT72E2 as previously reported. The data show that impact of over-expressing UGT72E3 in leaves is highly similar to that of UGT72E2 in that the production of massive levels of coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol 4-O-glucosides and a substantial loss in sinapoyl malate. In contrast, the over-expression of UGT72E1 in leaves led only to minimal changes in coniferyl alcohol 4-O-glucoside and no effect was observed on sinapoyl malate levels. In roots, over-expression of both UGTs led to some increase in the accumulation of the two glucosides. The cell specificity expression of the whole UGT72E gene cluster was investigated and interestingly only UGT72E3 was found to be wound and touch responsive.
