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

introductionAuxins are hormones that regulate plant growth and development. To accurately quantify the low levels of auxins present in plant and soil samples, sensitive detection methods are needed. In this study, the design and construction of two different whole cell auxin bioassays is illustrated. Both use the auxin responsive element HpaA as an input module but differ in output module. The first bioassay incorporates the gfp gene to produce a fluorescent bioassay. Whereas the second one utilizes the genes phzM and phzS to produce a pyocyanin producing bioassay whose product can be measured electrochemically.

resultsThe fluorescent bioassay is able to detect 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4-HPA) and 2-phenylacetic acid (PAA) concentrations from 60 μM to 3 mM in a dose-responsive manner. The pyocyanin producing bioassay can detect 4-HPA concentrations from 1.9 to 15.625 μM and PAA concentrations from 15.625 to 125 μM, both in a dose-responsive manner.

conclusionA fluorescent whole cell auxin bioassay and an electrochemical whole cell auxin bioassay were constructed and tested. Both are able to detect 4-HPA and PAA at concentrations that are environmentally relevant to plant growth.
