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

Polycistronic mRNAs containing an upstream beta-glucuronidase (GUS) and a downstream chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter open reading frame (ORF) were expressed in transfected plant protoplasts. CAT expression could be strongly induced by coexpression of the cauliflower mosaic virus encoded translation transactivator. Transactivation was abolished when an upstream ORF overlapped the CAT ORF for a long distance. No specific sequence elements were required for transactivation but the presence of a short ORF upstream of the GUS ORF strongly enhanced the process. The inhibitory effect of additional presumed stem structures inserted into various regions of the reporter mRNAs indicates that both ORFs are translated by ribosomes that associate with the RNA at the 5' end and reach the ORFs by a linear migration mechanism.
