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

Partial cDNAs and genomic fragments representing three different actin genes of witchweed (Striga asiatica L. Kuntze) have been isolated using the polymerase chain reaction. The three genes differ in nucleotide sequence within their coding and 3' non-coding regions but encode proteins identical over the regions where sequence is available. Southern blot hybridization analysis of total genomic DNA showed that the three actin genes belong to a multigene family. Expression studies using gene-specific probes showed that transcripts of each of the three Striga actin genes were present at comparable levels in roots, shoots, and 24-h-induced haustoria. The relative abundance of the three transcripts within roots or shoots, however, differed appreciably. Such differences in transcript accumulation within organs indicate that differences might exist in their cell- or tissue-specific mode of regulation.
