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

Several RNA silencing strategies employing antisense or inverted repeat constructs have been applied to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Problems inherent to these strategies, like off-target effects by unpredictable generation of siRNAs, were solved previously by constructs allowing for routine expression of specific artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs). Yet missing was a routine tool for inducible amiRNA expression, which to establish was the aim of this work. For this, we equipped a recently developed amiRNA expression vector with the NIT1 promoter, which is repressed by ammonium and activated by nitrate. We tested this conditional amiRNA vector with heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) as target. HSF1 transcripts in transformants were already reduced ~2 h after transfer from ammonium to nitrate-containing medium. In contrast, HSF1 protein levels declined only ~8 h after the shift and were strongly reduced after 24 h, suggesting that HSF1 is a stable protein and diluted out by growth. HSF1 levels recovered partly when transformant cells were shifted back to ammonium for 72 h. Transformants developed thermosensitivity only on nitrate and thermosensitivity correlated with strong reduction in HSF1 levels, hence supporting our earlier conclusion that HSF1 is a key regulator for thermotolerance in Chlamydomonas.
