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 role for programmed cell death (PCD) has been established as the basis for plant-microbe interactions. A functional plant-based cDNA library screen identified possible anti-PCD genes, including one member of the PR1 family, designated P14a, from tomato. Members of the PR1 family have been subject to extensive research in view of their possible role in resistance against pathogens. The PR1 family is represented in every plant species studied to date and homologues have been found in animals, fungi and insects. However, the biological function of the PR1 protein from plants has remained elusive in spite of extensive research regarding a role in the response of plants to disease. Constitutive expression of P14a in transgenic tomato roots protected the roots against PCD triggered by Fumonisin B1, as did the human orthologue GLIPR1, indicating a kingdom crossing function for PR1. Tobacco plants transformed with a P14a-GFP fusion construct and inoculated with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci revealed that the mRNA was abundant throughout the leaves, but the fusion protein was restricted to the lesion margins, where cell death and bacterial spread were arrested. Vitus vinifera grapes expressing the PR1 homologue P14a as a transgene were protected against the cell death symptoms of Pierce's disease. A pull-down assay identified putative PR1-interacting proteins, including members of the Rac1 immune complex, known to function in innate immunity in rice and animal systems. The findings herein are consistent with a role of PR1 in the suppression of cell death-dependent disease symptoms and a possible mode of action.
