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 Catharanthus roseus DAT gene encodes the enzyme acetyl-CoA:deacetylvindoline-4-O-acetyltransferase involved in the last step of the indole alkaloid pathway leading to vindoline. This gene is characterized by specific cell type expression in idioblasts and laticifers. To understand the specific transcriptional regulation mechanism(s) of DAT, several DAT promoter GUS constructs were cloned into pCAMBIA1305.1. Agroinfiltration of different explant types of C. roseus resulted in organ-specific accumulation of GUS, albeit at various levels. Heterologous accumulation of GUS in transgenic tobacco revealed both general and non-specific expression with the exception of a stomata-specific expression when 2.3 kb of the DAT promoter was coupled with a portion of the DAT ORF. These results suggest that in addition to the 2.3 kb upstream of the DAT transcriptional start site, additional cis-acting elements may be responsible for the specific spatial expression of DAT in vivo. Furthermore, hairy roots transformed with DAT promoter GUS constructs demonstrated GUS expression in root tissues (visualized through GUS enzyme activity), even though DAT is repressed in non-transformed roots.
