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

To define elements critical for 5' splice selection in dicot plant nuclei, wild-type and mutant transcripts containing the first intron of the pea rbcS3A gene were expressed in vivo by using an autonomously replicating plant expression vector. Mutations within the normal 5' splice site (+1) of this intron demonstrate that 5' splice sites at the normal exon-intron boundary having only limited agreement with a 5' splice site consensus sequence can be spliced quite effectively in dicot nuclei. Inactivation of the normal 5' splice site occurs only by point mutations of the G at position +1 of the intron (+1G) or +2U or by multiple mutations at other positions and results in the activation of three cryptic 5' splice sites in the adjacent exon and intron. cis competition of cryptic sites having consensus 5' splice site sequences with the normal 5' splice site demonstrates that cryptic splice sites in the exon, but not the intron, can compete to some extent with the normal site. Replacement of the sequences between the cryptic and normal 5' splice sites with heterologous exon or intron sequences demonstrates that the 5' boundary of this plant intron is defined by its position relative to the AU transition point between exon and intron. These results suggest that potential 5' splice sites upstream of the AU transition point are accessible for recognition by the plant pre-mRNA splicing machinery and that those downstream in the AU-rich intron are masked from recognition.
