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

To understand the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying floral development in Populus tomentosa, we isolated PtLFY, a LEAFY homolog, from a P. tomentosa floral bud cDNA library. DNA gel blot analysis showed that PtLFY is present as a single copy in the genomes of both male and female individuals of P. tomentosa. The genomic copy is composed of three exons and two introns. Relative expression levels of PtLFY in tissues of P. tomentosa were estimated by RT-PCR; our results revealed that PtLFY mRNA is highly abundant in roots and both male and female floral buds. A low level of gene expression was detected in stems and vegetative buds, and no PtLFY-specific transcripts were detected in leaves. PtLFY expression patterns were analyzed during the development of both male and female floral buds in P. tomentosa via real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Continuous, stable and high-level expression of PtLFY-specific mRNA was detected in both male and female floral buds from September 13th to February 25th, but the level of PtLFY transcripts detected in male floral buds was considerably higher than in female floral buds. Our results also showed an inverted repeat PtLFY fragment (PtLFY-IR) effectively blocked flowering of transgenic tobacco plants, and that this effect appeared to be due to post-transcriptional silencing of the endogenous tobacco LFY homologs NFL1 and NFL2.
