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

Molecular chaperones (Hsps) have been shown to facilitate protein folding or assembly under various developmental and adverse environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to unravel a possible role of heat-shock proteins in conferring abiotic stress tolerance to plants. We isolated a cDNA encoding a cytoplasmic Hsp70 (PgHsc70) from Pennisetum glaucum by screening heat-stress cDNA library. PgHsc70 cDNA encoding 649 amino acids represents all conserved signature motifs characteristic of Hsp70s. The predicted molecular model of PgHsc70 protein suggests that the N-terminus ATP-binding region is evolutionarily conserved, in comparison to C-terminus peptide-binding domains. A single intron in ATPase domain coding region of PgHsc70 exhibited a high degree of conservation with respect to its position and phasing among other plant Hsp70 genes. Recombinant PgHsc70 protein purified from E. coli possessed in vitro chaperone activity and protected PgHsc70 expressing bacteria from damage caused by heat and salinity stress. Nucleotide sequence analysis of 5' flanking promoter region of PgHsc70 gene revealed a potential heat-shock element (HSE) and other putative stress-responsive transcription factor binding sites. Positive correlation existed between differentially up-regulated PgHsc70 transcript levels and the duration and intensity of different environmental stresses. Molecular and biochemical analyses revealed that PgHsc70 gene was a member of the Hsp70 family and suggested that its origin was from duplication of a common ancestral gene. Transcript induction data, presence of several putative stress-responsive transcription factor-binding sites in the promoter region of PgHsc70 and the presence of a protective in vitro chaperone activity of this protein against damage caused by heat and salinity, when expressed in E. coli, suggest its probable role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance to this plant.
