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

In the Solanaceae, self-incompatibility is controlled by a single, multi-allelic ('S') locus. One product of this locus is a ribonuclease, the S-RNase, which is expressed predominantly in mature pistils and has recently been shown to cause allele-specific pollen rejection in transgenic plants. Hybrid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia x N. alata plants were used to test the effects of antisense suppression of the SA2-RNase from N. alata using three different gene constructs: two driven by RNA polymerase II-transcribed promoters, and the third, containing a truncated soybean tRNA (met-i) gene, transcribed by RNA polymerase III. All three constructs caused suppression of S-RNase activity in the transgenic plants. Unexpectedly, the CaMV 35S promoter was more effective for antisense suppression than the tissue specific tomato ChiP promoter. Antisense suppression of S-RNase correlated with low sense SA2 transcript levels and high antisense SA2 transcript levels. Untransformed hybrids that contained the N. alata SA2 allele were incompatible with N. alata SA2 pollen, while transgenic plants with suppressed SA2 gene expression accepted the pollen. The utility of this hybrid plant system for studying some aspects of antisense gene suppression is discussed.
