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

A universal plant response to phosphorus deprivation is the up-regulation of a diverse array of phosphatases. As reported recently, the AtPECP1 gene encodes a phosphatase with in vitro substrate specificity for phosphoethanolamine and phosphocholine. The putative substrates suggested that AtPECP1 is related to phospholipid metabolism; however, the biological function of AtPECP1 is as yet not understood. In addition, whereas lipid remodelling processes as part of the phosphorus starvation response have been extensively studied, knowledge of the polar head group metabolism and its regulation is lacking. We found that AtPECP1 is expressed in the cytosol and exerts by far its strongest activity in roots of phosphate-starved plants. We established a novel LC-MS/MS-based method for the quantitative and simultaneous measurement of the head group metabolites. The analysis of Atpecp1 null mutants and overexpression lines revealed that phosphoethanolamine, but not phosphocholine is the substrate of AtPECP1 in vivo. The impact on head group metabolite levels is greatest in roots of both loss-of-function and gain-of-function transgenic lines, indicating that the biological role of AtPECP1 is mainly restricted to roots. We suggest that phosphoethanolamine hydrolysis by AtPECP1 during Pi starvation is required to down-regulate the energy-consuming biosynthesis of phosphocholine through the methylation pathway.
