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

To design, synthetic promoters leading to stress-specific induction of a transgene, the study of cis-regulatory elements is of great importance. Cis-regulatory elements play a major role in regulating the gene expression spatially and temporally at the transcriptional level. The present work focuses on one of the important cis-regulatory element, W-box having TGAC as a core motif which serves as a binding site for the members of the WRKY transcription factor family. In the present study, we have analyzed the occurrence frequency of TGAC core motifs for varying spacer lengths (ranging from 0 to 30 base pairs) across the Arabidopsis thaliana genome in order to determine the biological and functional significance of these conserved sequences. Further, the available microarray data was used to determine the role of TGAC motif in abiotic stresses namely salinity, osmolarity and heat. It was observed that TGAC motifs with spacer sequences like TGACCCATTTTGAC and TGACCCATGAATTTTGAC had a significant deviation in frequency and were thought to be favored for transcriptional bindings. The microarray data analysis revealed the involvement of TGAC motif mainly with genes down-regulated under abiotic stress conditions. These results were further confirmed by the transient expression studies with promoter-reporter cassettes carrying TGAC and TGAC-ACGT variant motifs with spacer lengths of 5 and 10.
