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

Flower-specific promoters enable genetic manipulation of floral organs to improve crop yield and quality without affecting vegetative growth. However, the identification of strong tissue-specific promoters is a challenge. In addition, information on cis elements that is able to repress gene expression in vegetative tissues remains limited. Here, we report that fusing a 35S enhancer to the stamen- and carpel-specific NtAGIP1 promoter derived from the tobacco AGAMOUS second intron (AGI) can significantly increase the promoter activity. Interestingly, although the activity of the new promoter extends to sepals and pedicles, it does not cross the boundary of the reproductive organs. Serial deletion of the AGI and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay reveal a 100-bp fragment that contains a conserved GAGA factor binding motif contributes to the flower specificity by mediating histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) modification of the promoter. Furthermore, this fragment shows significant suppressive effect on the activity of the 35S enhancer in vegetative tissues, consequently, resulting in a significant increase of the activity of 35S enhancer:AGI chimeric promoter without sacrifice of its specificity in inflorescence.
