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

Ferredoxin I (Fed-1) mRNA abundance is modulated by an internal light regulatory element that includes sequences both 5' and 3' of the translational initiation site. To test the hypothesis that the light response mediated by this element might be coupled to translation, we transformed tobacco plants with gene constructs blocked in translational initiation or elongation. Here, we report that such mutations abolish the light response in vivo. A nonsense mutation could be rescued by restoring the open reading frame with a different sequence, even when the new codon caused an amino acid substitution. Our data establish that the light response requires a translatable reading frame and thus provide strong circumstantial evidence for post-transcriptional modulation of Fed-1 mRNA levels. The Fed-1 system is presently the only higher plant example of a developmentally regulated change in mRNA abundance that requires translation of the affected mRNA.
