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

Protein phosphatase 2Cs (PP2Cs) have been demonstrated to play critical roles in regulation of plant growth/development, abscisic acid signaling pathway and adaptation to environmental stresses. Here we report the cloning and molecular characterization of a novel rice protein phosphatase 2C gene, OsBIPP2C2 (Oryza sativa L. BTH-induced protein phosphatase 2C 2). OsBIPP2C2 has three alternatively spliced transcripts and the largest transcript OsBIPP2C2a encodes a 380 aa protein containing all 11 conserved catalytic subdomains of PP2Cs. Expression of OsBIPP2C2a was significantly induced by benzothiadiazole (BTH), one of defense-related signal molecules in plants. Expression of OsBIP2C2a was induced by infection with the blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea, and the pathogen-induced expression of OsBIPP2C2a in BTH-treated rice seedlings was much earlier and stronger than those in water-treated seedlings. Overexpression of OsBIPP2C2a in transgenic tobacco plants resulted in increased disease resistance against tobacco mosaic virus and Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae. Importantly, the OsBIPP2C2a-overexpressing transgenic tobacco plants showed constitutive expression of defense-related genes. These results suggest that OsBIPP2C2a may play an important role in disease resistance through activation of defense response.
