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

Eukaryotic elongation factor one alpha (eEF1A) encoding genes are part of the large GTP binding protein family. The eEF1A family is important for protein synthesis and actin filament and bundle formation. In this study, the expression of four eEF1A genes in Arabidopsis thaliana is reported. Microarray analyses of the gene family showed high expression levels in germinating seeds, embryos, and shoot and root meristems. Quantitative real time RT-PCR was used to determine individual eEF1A gene expression. Unlike animals, in Arabidopsis tissues all four eEF1A genes were expressed in all tissues sampled. However, the abundance of each transcript varied spatially. Knocking out expression of one eEF1A gene produced seedlings with stunted roots and a subsequent change in expression of the other three eEF1A genes. The varying abundance of each gene in different tissues may indicate different concentration requirements for each message product. These results will be very useful for elucidating the role of each gene in growth, development, and stress responses of the plant.
