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

Previously, we have shown that Agrobacterium-plant cell transferred DNA (T-DNA) transport into the host cell nucleus is likely mediated by two specific bacterial proteins, VirD2 and VirE2. Here, we used these proteins to study molecular pathways of nuclear import. First, the role of VirE2 nuclear localization signals (NLSs) in the T-DNA transport pathway was examined by using tobacco plants transgenic for deletion mutants of VirE2. In these plants, the virulence of wild-type Agrobacterium was reduced possibly by competition for the cellular nuclear import machinery. Second, we analyzed the nuclear localization of VirE2 and VirD2 in the nonhost monocot maize. Part of the known recalcitrance of monocots to transformation by Agrobacterium could be due to a potential selectivity in nuclear import pathways in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Nuclear transport of VirD2 and VirE2 in maize leaves and roots was compared to that in tobacco protoplasts and roots. Both proteins accumulated in maize leaf and tobacco protoplast nuclei as well as in nuclei of immature root cells. In contrast, VirD2 and VirE2 expressed in mature roots of maize and tobacco remained cytoplasmic. Point mutations of VirE2 nuclear localization signals, NSE 1 and NSE 2, also revealed that, in maize, the NSE 1 signal was mainly responsible for nuclear import; in contrast, both signals functioned independently in tobacco protoplasts.
