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

key messageProper root growth depends on the clearance of TCP transcripts from the root apical meristem by microRNA miR319. The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 regulates genes encoding TCP transcription factors in angiosperms. The miR319-TCP module controls cell proliferation and differentiation in leaves and other aerial organs. The current model sustains that miR319 quantitatively tunes TCP activity during leaf growth and development, ultimately affecting its size. In this work we studied how this module participates in Arabidopsis root development. We found that misregulation of TCP activity through impairment of miR319 binding decreased root meristem size and root length. Cellular and molecular analyses revealed that high TCP activity affects cell number and cyclin expression but not mature cell length, indicating that, in roots, unchecking the expression of miR319-regulated TCPs significantly affects cell proliferation. Conversely, tcp multiple mutants showed no obvious effect on root growth, but strong defects in leaf morphogenesis. Therefore, in contrast to the quantitative regulation of the TCPs by miR319 in leaves, our data suggest that miR319 clears TCP transcripts from root cells. Hence, we provide new insights into the functions of the miR319-TCP regulatory system in Arabidopsis development, highlighting a different modus operandi for its action mechanism in roots and shoots.
