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

RNA silencing technology has become the tool of choice for inducing resistance against viruses in plants. A significant discovery of this technology is that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is diced into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), is a potent trigger for RNA silencing. By exploiting this phenomenon in transgenic plants, it is possible to confer high level of virus resistance by specific targeting of cognate viral RNA. In order to maximize the efficiency and versatility of the vector-based siRNA approach, we have constructed a chimeric expression vector containing three partial gene sequences derived from the ORF2 gene of Potato virus X, Helper Component Protease gene of Potato virus Y and Coat protein gene of Potato leaf roll virus. Solanum tuberosum cv. Desiree and Kuroda were transformed with this chimeric gene cassette via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation and transgenic status was confirmed by PCR, Southern and double antibody sandwich ELISA detection. Due to simultaneous RNA silencing, as demonstrated by accumulation of specific siRNAs, the expression of partial triple-gene sequence cassette depicted 20% of the transgenic plants are immune against all three viruses. Thus, expression of a single transgene construct can effectively confer resistance to multiple viruses in transgenic plants.
