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

The plant ribosome is composed of 80 distinct ribosomal (r)-proteins. In Arabidopsis thaliana, each r-protein is encoded by two or more highly similar paralogous genes, although only one copy of each r-protein is incorporated into the ribosome. Brassica napus is especially suited to the comparative study of r-protein gene paralogs due to its documented history of genome duplication as well as the recent availability of large EST data sets. We have identified 996 putative r-protein genes spanning 79 distinct r-proteins in B. napus using EST data from 16 tissue collections. A total of 23,408 tissue-specific r-protein ESTs are associated with this gene set. Comparative analysis of the transcript levels for these unigenes reveals that a large fraction of r-protein genes are differentially expressed and that the number of paralogs expressed for each r-protein varies extensively with tissue type in B. napus. In addition, in many cases the paralogous genes for a specific r-protein are not transcribed in concert and have highly contrasting expression patterns among tissues. Thus, each tissue examined has a novel r-protein transcript population. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering reveals that particular paralogs for nonhomologous r-protein genes cluster together, suggesting that r-protein paralog combinations are associated with specific tissues in B. napus and, thus, may contribute to tissue differentiation and/or specialization. Altogether, the data suggest that duplicated r-protein genes undergo functional divergence into highly specialized paralogs and coexpression networks and that, similar to recent reports for yeast, these are likely actively involved in differentiation, development, and/or tissue-specific processes.
