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

A major limitation on the expression of some foreign proteins in transgenic plants is the toxic effect of such proteins on the host plant resulting in inhibition of normal growth and development. A solution to this problem is to control the expression of genes for such proteins by means of inducible promoters, as is frequently done in microbial systems. A cDNA clone was obtained from subtractive hybridization of non-harvested and harvested alfalfa leaf tissue, named hi12. The hi12 cDNA was identified as part of the S-adenosyl-L-methionine: trans-caffeoyl-CoA3-O-methyltransferase gene of alfalfa, a gene encoding an essential key enzyme in lignin synthesis. The hi12 gene was strongly induced by harvesting and wounding but not by heat shock. The promoter of the hi12 gene, isolated by genomic walking, contained several stress response cis-elements. Transgenic plants of tobacco and Medicago truncatula containing the GUS gene driven by the promoter showed GUS expression following harvesting, demonstrating the activity of these regulatory regions in other plant species.
