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

RNA interference (RNAi) technology has been successfully applied in stacking resistance against viruses in numerous crop plants. During RNAi, the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from template double-standard RNA (dsRNA) derived from expression constructs provides an on-switch for triggering homology-based targeting of cognate viral transcripts, hence generating a pre-programmed immunity in transgenic plants prior to virus infection. In the current study, transgenic potato lines (Solanum tuberosum cv. Desiree) were generated, expressing fused viral coat protein coding sequences from Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), and Potato virus S (PVS) as a 600-bp inverted repeat expressed from a constitutive 35S promoter. The expression cassette (designated Ec1/p5941) was designed to generate dsRNAs having a hairpin loop configuration. The transgene insertions were confirmed by glufosinate resistance, gene-specific PCR, and Southern blotting. Regenerated lines were further assayed for resistance to virus inoculation for up to two consecutive crop seasons. Nearly 100% resistance against PVX, PVY, and PVS infection was observed in transgenic lines when compared with untransformed controls, which developed severe viral disease symptoms. These results establish the efficacy of RNAi using the coat protein gene as a potential target for the successful induction of stable antiviral immunity in potatoes.
