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

BPG2 (Brz-insensitive pale green 2) is a dark-repressible and light-inducible gene that is required for the greening process in Arabidopsis. Light pulse experiments suggested that light-regulated gene expression of BPG2 is mediated by phytochrome. The T-DNA insertion mutant bpg2-2 exhibited a reduced level of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigmentation in the plastids. Measurements of time resolved chlorophyll fluorescence and of fluorescence emission at 77 K indicated defective photosystem II and altered photosystem I functions in bpg2 mutants. Kinetic analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence induction suggested that the reduction of the primary acceptor (QA) is impaired in bpg2. The observed alterations resulted in reduced photosynthetic efficiency as measured by the electron transfer rate. BPG2 protein is localized in the plastid stroma fraction. Co-immunoprecipitation of a formaldehyde cross-linked RNA-protein complex indicated that BPG2 protein binds with specificity to chloroplast 16S and 23S ribosomal RNAs. The direct physical interaction with the plastid rRNAs supports an emerging model whereby BPG2 provides light-regulated ribosomal RNA processing functions, which are rate limiting for development of the plastid and its photosynthetic apparatus.
