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

Small 10-kD acyl-coenzyme A-binding proteins (ACBPs) are highly conserved proteins that are prevalent in eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), other than the 10-kD ACBP homolog (designated Arabidopsis ACBP6), there are five larger forms of ACBPs ranging from 37.5 to 73.1 kD. In this study, the cytosolic subcellular localization of Arabidopsis ACBP6 was confirmed by analyses of transgenic Arabidopsis expressing autofluorescence-tagged ACBP6 and western-blot analysis of subcellular fractions using ACBP6-specific antibodies. The expression of Arabidopsis ACBP6 was noticeably induced at 48 h after 4 degrees C treatment by northern-blot analysis and western-blot analysis. Furthermore, an acbp6 T-DNA insertional mutant that lacked ACBP6 mRNA and protein displayed increased sensitivity to freezing temperature (-8 degrees C), while ACBP6-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis plants were conferred enhanced freezing tolerance. Northern-blot analysis indicated that ACBP6-associated freezing tolerance was not dependent on the induction of cold-regulated COLD-RESPONSIVE gene expression. Instead, ACBP6 overexpressors showed increased expression of mRNA encoding phospholipase Ddelta. Lipid profiling analyses of rosettes from cold-acclimated, freezing-treated (-8 degrees C) transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing ACBP6 showed a decline in phosphatidylcholine (-36% and -46%) and an elevation of phosphatidic acid (73% and 67%) in comparison with wild-type plants. From our comparison, the gain in freezing tolerance in ACBP6 overexpressors that was accompanied by decreases in phosphatidylcholine and an accumulation of phosphatidic acid is consistent with previous findings on phospholipase Ddelta-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis. In vitro filter-binding assays indicating that histidine-tagged ACBP6 binds phosphatidylcholine, but not phosphatidic acid or lysophosphatidylcholine, further imply a role for ACBP6 in phospholipid metabolism in Arabidopsis, including the possibility of ACBP6 in the cytosolic trafficking of phosphatidylcholine.
