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 Arabidopsis AGL3 gene was previously identified on the basis of sequence similarity to the floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG), which encodes a protein with a conserved MADS domain that is also found in human and yeast transcription factors (SRF and MCM1, respectively). Analysis of newly isolated full-length cDNA clones as well as genomic clones indicates that AGL3 is indeed a MADS-box gene with a general intron-exon structure similar to other plant MADS-box genes. However, unlike the others, which are expressed specifically in flowers, AGL3 is expressed in all above-ground vegetative organs, as well as in flowers, but not in roots. Furthermore, since AGL3 is MADS-domain protein, it is likely that it is also a DNA-binding protein regulating transcription. To characterize AGL3 as a DNA-binding protein in vitro, we expressed the AGL3 protein in Escherichia coli, and characterized its DNA-binding properties. We show that AGL3 binds to sequences which resemble the target sequences of SRF and MCM1, and have determined the consensus sequence to which AGL3 binds using random oligonucleotides. These results suggest that AGL3 is a widely distributed DNA-binding protein, which may be involved the transcriptional regulation of genes in many cells.
