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

Reproductive structures of plants (e.g. seeds) and vegetative tissues of resurrection plants can tolerate desiccation. Many genes encoding desiccation-related proteins (DRPs) have been identified in the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum, but the function of these genes remains mainly hypothetical. Here, the importance of the DRP gene pcC13-62 for desiccation tolerance is evaluated by analysing its expression in C. plantagineum and in the closely related desiccation-tolerant species Lindernia brevidens and the desiccation-sensitive species Lindernia subracemosa. Quantitative analysis revealed that pcC13-62 transcripts accumulate at a much lower level in desiccation-sensitive species than in desiccation-tolerant species. The study of pcC13-62 promoters from these species demonstrated a correlation between promoter activity and gene expression levels, suggesting transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Comparison of promoter sequences identified a dehydration-responsive element motif in the promoters of tolerant species that is required for dehydration-induced β-glucuronidase (GUS) accumulation. We hypothesize that variations in the regulatory sequences of the pcC13-62 gene occurred to establish pcC13-62 expression in vegetative tissues, which might be required for desiccation tolerance. The pcC13-62 promoters could also be activated by salt stress in Arabidopsis thaliana plants stably transformed with promoter::GUS constructs.
