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

This work is focused on the generation of selectable marker-free transgenic tobacco plants using the self excision Cre/loxP system that is controlled by a strong seed specific Arabidopsis cruciferin C (CRUC) promoter. It involves Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using a binary vector containing the gus reporter gene and one pair of the loxP sites flanking the cre recombinase and selectable nptII marker genes (floxed DNA). Surprisingly, an ectopic activation of CRUC resulting in partial excision of floxed DNA was observed during regeneration of transformed cells already in calli. The regenerated T(0) plants were chimeric, but no ongoing ectopic expression was observed in these one-year-long invitro maintained plants. The process of the nptII removal was expected in the seeds; however, none of the analysed T(0) transgenic lines generated whole progeny sensitive to kanamycin. Detailed analyses of progeny of selected T(0)-30 line showed that 10.2% GUS positive plants had completely removed nptII gene while the remaining 86.4% were still chimeras. Repeated activation of the cre gene in T(2) seeds resulted in increased rate of marker-free plants, whereas four out of ten analysed chimeric T(1) plants generated completely marker-free progenies. This work points out the feasibility as well as limits of the CRUC promoter in the Cre/loxP strategy.
