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

Constitutive promoters are essential tools for analyses of gene functions by transgenic approaches. For overexpression and silencing studies of genes, a ubiquitous and strong expression of genes under investigation as well as selection markers is preferred. For future applications in the emerging basal plant model system Marchantia polymorpha, a liverwort, activities of the viral 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter and the endogenous elongation factor 1α (MpEF1α) promoter were analyzed. Expression of the reporter gene β-glucuronidase (GUS), driven by the CaMV35 and MpEF1α promoters, was compared throughout plant development. Significant differences were observed between the two promoter activities. The CaMV35 promoter yields a weak reporter gene expression in the meristematic zones but drives a strong expression in the thallus. The MpEF1α promoter causes a strong meristematic GUS expression and is more active in female sexual tissues. Overall, the MpEF1α promoter seems to be the better option for obtaining a strong and ubiquitous transgene expression. Furthermore, a whole mount in situ hybridization protocol for Marchantia was established. Analysis of MpEF1α mRNA transcript in intact, whole tissues showed an expression pattern that is overall similar to the pattern of the GUS reporter gene expression driven by the MpEF1α promoter, including strong expression in meristematic zones. The whole mount technique reported here can be used to determine the mRNA expression in intact gemmae and archegonia, and has the potential to be applied for screening large numbers of transgenic plants, for instance to identify knock-down mutants.
