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

Agrobacterium transfer DNA (T-DNA) integration is mediated by plant DNA repair proteins of various nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways. However, the relative importance of these proteins for stable transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana is controversial. Using quantitative transient and stable transformation assays and droplet digital PCR analyses, we characterized single and higher order Arabidopsis NHEJ mutants to determine the importance of numerous NHEJ proteins in transformation and T-DNA integration. Simultaneous mutation of genes important for several DNA repair/recombination pathways may only partially inhibit stable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Some of these mutations may also inhibit transient transformation. These observations support the hypothesis that no individual NHEJ protein is essential for T-DNA integration.
