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

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photolyase-like flavoproteins that have been found in all evolutionary lineages. Plant and animal CRYs are no longer DNA-repairing enzymes but they apparently gained other biochemical functions in evolution. Plant CRYs are UV-A/blue-light photoreceptors and play a pivotal role in plant growth and development, whereas animal CRYs act as either photoreceptors or transcription regulators. The first CRY gene was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana, which regulates stem growth, flowering time, stomatal opening, circadian clock, and other light responses. CRYs are also found in all major crops investigated, with additional functions discovered, such as seed germination, leaf senescence, and stress responses. In this chapter, we will review some aspects of CRY-mediated light responses in plants. Readers are referred to other review articles for photochemistry and signal transduction mechanism of plant CRYs (Liu et al., 2010, 2011; Fankhauser and Ulm, 2011) [1-3].
