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

By screening cell colonies derived from protoplasts of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea), transformed with a rice actin-1-promoter-ß-glucuronidase gene construct, several ß-glucuronidase positive callus clones were obtained. Two callus clones with different GUS expression were derived from these. One was light blue after X-gluc staining, and expression of the ß-glucuronidase gene was stable over repeated subculture, while another stained intensely blue, and expression of the ß-glucuronidase gene was unstable. Southern blot analysis showed that only one copy of the ß-glucuronidase gene was integrated into the genome, and that these two clones appeared to have the same integration pattern. Treatment with 5-azacytidine maintained GUS expression in the unstable line but had no effect on reactivating expression of the GUS gene after expression had been lost. Following the screening procedure the callus clones would only regenerate albino plants.
