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

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in abiotic stress response apart from its influence on growth and development of a plant. Our studies on abscisic acid response element binding factor 1 (ABF1) gene in Arabidopsis demonstrate that it is required for seedling establishment during winter. ABF1 is also involved in regulating seed dormancy and seed germination to some extent. Analysis of transcriptional activity of ABF1 promoter reveals that ABF1 expresses specifically in trichomes of young leaves and constitutively in cotyledons, roots, older leaves and flowers. The expression is induced upon exposure to ABA, cold and heat. The alignment of cDNAs of ABF1 (At1g49720) and At1g49730 (encodes a protein kinase of unknown function), reveals an overlap of 88 bp at their 3' UTR region suggesting that they can potentially form natural cis-antisense mRNAs pair in a tail-to-tail manner. Analysis by Genevestigator microarray stress response viewer further supports the regulatory role of these genes. An inverse proportion is observed in the transcription the two loci in number of stress responses. The abf1 mutants do not show any seedling establishment defects when grown under standard growth conditions. The mutant seedlings exhibit growth defects during winter in the western Himalayan region. Our study also signifies the importance of functional analysis for mutant phenotypes in natural habitats by reverse genetic approaches, in order to identify specific function of particular gene/s whose expression level is altered upon exposure to changes in environmental cues such as temperature and light.
