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 functional and biological significance of translation initiation context sequence in determining high-level expression of modified synthetic human alpha(1)-proteinase inhibitor (alpha(1)-PI) gene was documented in stable transgenic tomato plants. Context sequence of initiator ATG codon derived from statistical analysis of databases was identified as taaA(A/C)aATGGCt in highly expressed dicot plant genes. Removal of initiator ATG context sequence reduced the expression of recombinant alpha(1)-PI protein to fourfolds. The mutation of consensus base at +4 position to a pyrimidine either alone or with substitution at -3 position eliminated most of the alpha(1)-PI expression, while mutation at -3 alone resulted in about sevenfold reduction. The presence of steady-state levels of alpha(1)-PI transcript in transgenic plants indicated that the variation in expression is entirely due to the point mutations incorporated in translation initiation context. These results indicated the significance of conserved nucleotide sequence around initiator ATG codon in augmenting post-transcriptional events and high-level expression of heterologous genes in transgenic plants.
