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

We have investigated the cis-acting potential of several as elements (20-bp as-1/ocs-like sequences) in both yeast and plant cells. These TGACG[N7]TGACG-resembling elements were surprisingly similar with respect to their ability to confer inducibility by auxins and related compounds to a heterologous TATA box in stably transformed plant cells. Both in plant cells and in yeast it was found that differences between as elements were of a quantitative nature. A strong element based on the consensus sequence for as elements conferred the highest level of gene expression. The rather aberrant as elements present in the promoters of auxin-inducible gst genes Nt103 and Nt114 of tobacco were much weaker cis-acting elements. The ability of an element to drive reporter gene expression was found to correlate with the extent to which proteins present in (nuclear) extracts of yeast and plant cells bound to it. The cloned transcription factor TGA1a was shown to be a very good candidate to be the factor that mediates the in vivo regulation of gene expression via as elements. The physiological significance of gene activation by active and inactive auxins is discussed.
