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

Here, a brief summary of the biosynthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) and ethylene in plants, as well as overviews of how ACC and ethylene act as signaling molecules in plants, is presented. Next, how the bacterial enzyme ACC deaminase cleaves plant-produced ACC and thereby decreases or prevents the ethylene or ACC modulation of plant gene expression is considered. A detailed model of ACC deaminase functioning, including the role of indoleacetic acid (IAA), is presented. Given that ACC is a signaling molecule under some circumstances, this suggests that ACC, which appears to have evolved prior to ethylene, may have been a major signaling molecule in primitive plants prior to the evolution of ethylene and ethylene signaling. Due to their involvement in stimulating ethylene production, the role of D-amino acids in plants is then considered. The enzyme D-cysteine desulfhydrase, which is structurally very similar to ACC deaminase, is briefly discussed and the possibility that ACC deaminase arose as a variant of D-cysteine desulfhydrase is suggested.
