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

In plants, peroxisomes are the primary site of fatty acid β-oxidation. Following substrate activation, fatty acids are oxidized by Acyl-CoA Oxidase (ACX) enzymes. Arabidopsis has six ACX genes, although ACX6 is not expressed. Biochemical characterization has revealed that each ACX enzyme acts on specific chain-length targets, but in a partially overlapping manner, indicating a degree of functional redundancy. Genetic analysis of acx single and double mutants in the Columbia (Col-0) accession revealed only minor phenotypes, but an acx3acx4 double mutant from Wassileskija (Ws) is embryo lethal. In this study, we show that acx3acx4(Col) and acx1acx3acx4(Col) mutants are viable and that enzyme activity in these mutants is significantly reduced on a range of substrates compared to wild type. However, the triple mutant displays only minor defects in seed-storage mobilization, seedling development, and adult growth. Although the triple mutant is defective in the three most active and highly-expressed ACX proteins, increases in ACX2 expression may support partial β-oxidation activity. Comparison of acx mutant alleles in the Col-0 and Ws accessions reveals independent phenotypes; the Ws acx4 mutant uniquely shows increased sensitivity to propionate, whereas the Col-0 acx4 allele has sucrose-dependent growth in the light. To dissect the issues between Col-0 and Ws, we generated mixed background mutants. Although alleles with the Col-0 acx4 mutant were viable, we were unable to isolate an acx3acx4 line using the Ws acx4 allele. Reducing ACX4 expression in several Arabidopsis backgrounds showed a split response, suggesting that the ACX4 gene and/or protein functions differently in Arabidopsis accessions.
