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

key messagePorteresia ubiquitin 5' regulatory region drives transgene expression in monocots and dicots. Ubiquitin promoters are promising candidates for constitutive transgene expression in plants. In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel 5' regulatory sequence of a ubiquitin gene from Porteresia coarctata, a stress-tolerant wild grass species. Through functional analysis in heterologous plant systems, we have demonstrated that full length (Port Ubi2.3) or truncated sequence (PD2) of the isolated regulatory fragment can drive constitutive expression of GUS in monocots and/or dicots. In silico analysis of Port Ubi2.3 has revealed the presence of a 640 bp core promoter region followed by two exons and two introns with numerous putative cis-acting sites scattered throughout the regulatory region. Transformation and expression studies of six different deletion constructs in rice, tobacco and sugarcane revealed that the proximal intron has an enhancing effect on the activity of the core promoter in both monocots and dicots, whereas, Port Ubi2.3 was able to render strong expression only in monocots. This regulatory sequence is quite distinct from the other reported ubiquitin promoters in structure and performs better in monocots compared to other commonly used promoters-maize Ubi1 and Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S.
