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

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) catalyzes first and the rate limiting step in glycerolipid synthesis pathway, which in turn contribute to stabilization of plasma membrane structure and oil lipid synthesis in plant cells. Here, we report cloning and characterization of GPAT gene from Lepidium latifolium (LlaGPAT). The cDNA sequence (1,615 bp) of LlaGPAT gene consisted of 1,113 bp ORF encoding a protein of 370 aa residues, with deduced mass of 41.2 kDa and four acyltransferase (AT) motifs having role in catalysis and in glycerol-3-phosphate binding. Southern blot analysis suggested presence of a single copy of the gene in the genome. Tissue specific expression of the gene was seen more abundantly in aerial parts, compared to the roots. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated down-regulation of the gene by cold (4 °C), drought (PEG6000), salt (300 mM NaCl) and ABA (100 μM) treatments. Considering the vitality of the function of encoded enzyme, LlaGPAT can be considered a potential candidate gene for genetic engineering of oil yields and abiotic stress management in food as well as fuel crops.
