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 ability of plants to withstand drought, a potentially major constraint to yield and production, is influenced by abscisic acid (ABA). ABA is synthesized in the cytosol from plastid carotenoid pathway derived precursors, and later inactivated by the action of ABA hydroxylases. Endogenous accumulation of ABA is controlled by both its synthesis and catabolism. Enzymatic activity of ABA 8'-hydroxylase (ABA8Ox), also referred to as CYP707A, is considered one of the key steps in modulating ABA levels that control numerous physiological processes. To investigate the role of this enzyme, maize ABA8Ox gene family members were identified. ABA8Ox gene expression was then analyzed in different tissues and roots during the drought-stress response in maize. These genes were found to be expressed in all tissues, with a high degree of specificity to each tissue and some degree of overlap. Maize ABA8Ox1a and ABA8Ox1b were shown to be the major transcript components for regulating ABA catabolism in drought-stressed roots. Phylogenetic and gene-structure analyses were performed to extend the implications and infer the cause of ABA catabolism in other cereal crops.
