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

Drought is the most important abiotic stress, challenging sustainable agriculture globally. For desiccation being the multigenic trait, a combination of identified genes from the appropriate organism may render crop tolerant to the water stress. Among the compatible solutes, proline plays multifaceted role in counteracting such stress. The genes encoding proline biosynthesizing enzymes, glutamate 5-kinase (G5K), and pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (P5CR) from the low-desiccation-tolerant cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) individually. The recombinant E. coli cells harboring G5K, failed to exhibit enhanced desiccation tolerance relative to those with P5CR that showed increased growth/survival over the wild type. This may be ascribed to the overexpression of the reductase gene. Multiple sequence alignment showed P5CR to be conserved in all the organisms. We hypothesize that P5CR gene from high-desiccation-tolerant cyanobacteria may be adopted as the candidate for making transgenic N2-fixing cyanobacterium for paddy fields and/or crop development in future.
