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

Plant height is an important trait for architecture patterning and crop yield improvement. Although the pathways involving gibberellins and brassinosteroids have been well studied, there are still many gaps in our knowledge of the networks that control plant height. In this study, we determined that a dominant photoperiod- and thermo-sensitive dwarf mutant is caused by the active role of a mutated gene Photoperiod-thermo-sensitive dwarfism 1 (Ptd1), the wild-type of which encodes a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP). Ptd1 plants showed severe dwarfism under long-day and low-temperature conditions, but grew almost normal under short-day and high-temperature conditions. These phenotypic variations were associated with Ptd1 mRNA levels and accumulation of the corresponding protein. Furthermore, we found that the growth inhibition in Ptd1 may result from the particular protein conformation of Ptd1 due to loss of two disulfide bonds in the eight-cysteine motif (8-CM) that is conserved among nsLTPs. These results contribute to our understanding of the novel function of disulfide bonds in the 8-CM, and provide a potential new strategy for regulation of cell development and plant height by modifying the amino acid residues involved in protein conformation patterning.
