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

We studied transgene silencing in two transgenic rice plants, OSM25 and COT-OSM4, which harboured two different types of right border (RB)-centered inverted transferred DNA (T-DNA) repeats (IRs). The T-DNA in OSM25 has three genes gus, OSM and hph, all under the transcriptional control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (P35S). The gus gene, which is proximal to the RB, is in a convergent orientation of transcription in the IR. OSM25 displayed silencing of all three transgenes. Nuclear run-on transcription analysis revealed that silencing of gus, OSM and hph genes in OSM25 operates at the transcriptional level. P35S showed hypermethylation in OSM25 plants. COT-OSM4 has P35S-driven gus and hph genes in its T-DNA. The hph gene, which is proximal to the RB, is in a divergent orientation of transcription in the IR. Unlike in OSM25, the transgenes in COT-OSM4 showed no silencing. These findings show that convergent orientation of transcription of a gene at the origin of an IR is important for transgene silencing.
