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

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) leverages viral vectors to deliver 200-400-nt inserts targeting specific genes. Here, we present a protocol for triggering gene silencing by virus-delivered short RNA inserts (vsRNAi). We describe steps for designing 32-nt vsRNAi that simultaneously target Nicotiana benthamiana homeologous genes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis and assembling them into JoinTRV, a vector system based on tobacco rattle virus (TRV). This approach results in robust gene silencing phenotypes, including visible leaf yellowing and reduced chlorophyll levels. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to García et al.
