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

NAC (NAM/ATAF/CUC) transcription factors regulate the expression of the target genes by formation of NAC-DNA complex, which are involved in development, stress responses and nutrient distribution in many metaphyta plants. AtNAC1, a NAC transcription factor from Arabidopsis thaliana, plays an important role in auxin signaling and root development. In order to understand the structure and DNA binding model of AtNAC1, the 3D structure model of AtNAC1 was constructed and docked with its target DNA. The structure of AtNAC1 monomer contained four α-helices and eight β-sheets. Two homo monomers of AtNAC1 formed a homo-dimer. The N-terminal sheet S1, Arg24 and Glu31 played an important role in forming AtNAC1 homo-dimer. AtNAC1 dimer interacted with DNA via its core β-sheet (S5) which contained WKATGKD motif inserting into the major groove of DNA and formed a tight AtNAC1-DNA complex. The DNA sites for AtNAC1 binding were 5'-CTGACGTA-3' and 5'-GATGACGC-3'. Lys102, Ala103, Thr104, Gly105, Lys106, and Asp107 interacting with sugars/bases of DNA were probably responsible for specific recognition of DNA sites. Meanwhile, Arg91, Lys135, and Lys171 binding with phosphate groups of DNA backbone might be the key residues for affinity with DNA. The study provided the in silico framework to understand the interactions of AtNAC1 with DNA at the molecular level.
