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

Cicer microphyllum, a wild relative of cultivated chickpea, is a high altitude cold desert-adapted species distributed in western and trans-Himalayas. A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding metallothionein-like protein has been identified from a cold-induced subtraction cDNA library from C. microphyllum. The sequence of the cloned metallothionein gene from C. microphyllum (GQ900702) contains 240-bp-long open reading frame and encodes predicted 79-amino acid protein of 7.9 kDa. Sequence analysis identified the motifs characteristic of type II metallothionein and designated as CmMet-2. Southern hybridization confirms a single copy of the CmMet-2 gene in C. microphyllum genome. In situ hybridization indicated spatial transcript regulation of CmMet-2 in root and aerial parts and also confirmed through real-time PCR-based quantitative transcript analysis. The data revealed a significantly low level of transcript in the aerial parts than the roots. Quantitative analysis using real-time PCR assay revealed induction of transcript in all parts of plants in response to cold stress at 4°C. The transcript abundance was found to increase exponentially with time course from 6 to 24 h after exposure. Further, regulation of transcript accumulation in response to abscisic acid application, polyethylene glycol (100 μM)-induced osmotic stress, or ZnSO(4) (1 μM) foliar spray indicated by Northern hybridization suggests the involvement of CmMet-2 in multiple stress response.
