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

Seed germination is a highly organized biological process accompanied by many cellular and metabolic changes. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, which forms the nucleolus at interphase and is transcribed for ribosome production and protein synthesis, has an important role during seed germination. In this study, we report that there is a decondensation of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) chromatin during seed germination accompanied with increased rRNA gene expression and overall genomic hyperacetylation. Analysis of the rRNA gene promoter region by using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) shows that there is an increase in acetylation levels at the rRNA gene promoter region. Application of seed germination inhibitor abscisic acid (ABA) suppresses rDNA chromatin decondensation, the expression of rRNA genes and global genomic acetylation. The further ChIP experiments show that ABA treatment hinders the elevation of acetylation levels in the promoter region of the rRNA gene. The data together indicate that ABA treatment inhibits seed germination, which is associated with rDNA chromatin condensation, decreased transcription and rRNA gene hypoacetylation.
