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

The PRB-1b gene codes for a basic-type pathogenesis-related protein of the PR-1 family of tobacco. PRB-1b mRNA accumulation is induced in response to biotic and abiotic elicitors, such as TMV, ethylene, salicylic acid, alpha-amino butyric acid and darkness. In order to determine the location of elements that control dark-regulated PRB-1b gene expression, we tested promoter, transcribed regions and 3'-downstream regions of the gene for their ability to respond to dark induction in transgenic tobacco plants. An ethylene-inducible promoter region of 863 bp was not able to confer dark induction to a beta-glucuronidase reporter gene, while a construct containing the transcribed region of the gene and 3'-downstream sequences, driven by the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, was correctly dark-regulated. The results indicate that dark-induction of the PRB-1b gene can be controlled by 3'-downstream elements at the transcriptional level or by transcribed sequences at the post-transcriptional level. A circadian clock regulation of the PRB-1b gene was excluded, as fluctuations of PRB-1b transcript levels were not observed in plants placed in constant light or darkness. Subcellular localization of the PRB-1b protein was also determined, in tobacco protoplasts preparations and in cell cultures. The PRB-1b polypeptide was predominantly detected in protoplast vacuoles and was not secreted to the media in cell cultures. These results support an intracellular localization for the PRB-1b protein, as reported for other basic-type components of the pathogenesis-related proteins family.
