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

MAIN

conclusionImproved post-harvest cell wall deconstruction of tall fescue leaves has been demonstrated by in-planta co-expression of a constitutively expressed ferulic acid esterase together with a senescence-induced β-1,4 endoxylanase. Tall fescue plants (Festuca arundinacea) constitutively expressing vacuole- or apoplast-targeted ferulic acid esterase from Aspergillus niger were retransformed with a senescence-induced and apoplast-targeted β-1,4 endo-xylanase from Trichoderma reesei. Enzyme activities in co-expressing plants stabilized after repeated vegetative propagation, with xylanase activity in senescent leaves increasing and ferulic acid esterase activity decreasing after tillering. Plants co-expressing both enzymes in the apoplast, with the lowest levels of ferulate monomers and dimers and the lowest levels of cell wall arabinoxylans, released ten times more cell wall hydroxycinnamic acids and five times more arabinoxylan from the cell wall on autodigestion compared to expression of ferulic acid esterase or xylanase alone. These plants also showed a 31 % increase in cellulase-mediated release of reducing sugars, a 5 % point increase in in vitro dry matter digestibility and a 23 % increase in acetyl bromide-soluble lignin. However, plant growth was adversely affected by expressing FAE in the apoplast, giving plants with narrower shorted leaves, and a 71 % decrease in biomass.
