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

In plants, RNA interference (RNAi) is an effective defense mechanism against pathogens and pests. RNAi mainly involves the micro RNA and the small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathways. The latter pathway is generally based on the processing of long double stranded RNAs (dsRNA) into siRNAs by DICER-LIKE endonucleases (DCLs). SiRNAs are loaded onto ARGONAUTE proteins to constitute the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Natural dsRNAs derive from transcription of inverted repeats or of specific RNA molecules that are transcribed by RNA-directed RNA polymerase 6 (RDR6). Moreover, replication of infecting viruses/viroids results in the production of dsRNA intermediates that can serve as substrates for DCLs. The high effectiveness of RNAi both locally and systemically implicated that plants could become resistant to pathogens, including viruses, through artificial activation of RNAi by topical exogenous application of dsRNA. The most preferable procedure to exploit RNAi would be to simply spray naked dsRNAs onto mature plants that are specific for the attacking pathogens serving as a substitute for pesticides applications. However, the plant cell wall is a difficult barrier to overcome and only few reports claim that topical application of naked dsRNA triggers RNAi in plants. Using a transgenic
