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 Arabidopsis HD2 family of histone deacetylases consist of 4 members (HD2A, HD2B, HD2C, HD2D) that play diverse roles in plant development and physiology through chromatin remodelling. Here, we show that the transcripts of HD2 family members selectively accumulate in response to glucose through a HXK1-independent signal transduction pathway during the early stages of seedling growth. Germination was enhanced in hd2a null mutants relative to wild-type seeds. In contrast, hd2c mutants were restrained in germination relative to wild-type seeds. In hd2a/hd2c double mutants, germination was restored to wild-type levels. The data suggests that HD2A and HD2C may have different and opposing functions in germination with the glucose/HD2A pathway acting to restrain germination and the HD2C pathway acting to enhance germination. These pathways may function early in the regulation of seedling germination, independently of the glucose/HXK1/ABA signal transduction pathway, to fine tune the onset of germination.
