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

Verifying plasmid constructs is a key, yet often overlooked step in plant molecular biology. Yet, due to lengthy biological cycles associated with many plant models and poor compatibility when extrapolating to other eukaryotic and prokaryotic models, it is important to test plant expression vectors before committing to the goal of obtaining stably transformed lines. Issues with vector expression can result in substantial time delays and the wasting of resources when not detected early on, especially when dealing with inducible vector expression systems as many inducible promoters present some degree of leakage.In this protocol, we present the detailed use of transient Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation in Nicotiana benthamiana to confirm the expression of a gene of interest when expressed under an abiotic stress-inducible promoter.
