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

•  Previously we have cloned sucrose: fructan-6-fructosyltransferase (6-SFT) from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and proposed that synthesis of fructans in grasses depends on the concerted action of two main enzymes: sucrose: sucrose-1-fructosyltransferase (1-SST), as in other fructan producing plants, and 6-SFT, found only in grasses. •  Here we report the cloning of barley 1-SST, verifying the activity of the encoded protein by expression in Pichia pastoris. As expected, the barley 1-SST is homologous to invertases and fructosyltransferases, and in particular to barley 6-SFT. •  The gene expression pattern of 1-SST and 6-SFT, along with the corresponding enzyme activities and fructan levels, were investigated in excised barley leaves subjected to a light-dark regime known to sequentially induce fructan accumulation and mobilization. The turnover of transcripts and enzyme activities of 1-SST and 6-SFT was compared, using appropriate inhibitors. •  We found the 1-SST transcripts and enzymatic activity respond quickly, being subject to a rapid turnover. By contrast, the 6-SFT transcripts and enzymatic activity were found to be much more stable. The much higher responsiveness of 1-SST to regulatory processes, as compared with 6-SFT, clearly indicates that 1-SST plays the role of the pacemaker enzyme of fructan synthesis in barley leaves.
