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 show that two invertase genes in potato, like most other plant invertase genes, include a very short second exon of 9 bp which encodes the central three amino acids of a motif highly conserved in invertases of diverse origin. This mini-exon is one of the smallest known in plants and pre-mRNA from these genes may be susceptible to alternative splicing, because of a potential requirement for specialized interaction with the splicing machinery to ensure correct processing for the production of a mature mRNA. No evidence of aberrant post-transcriptional processing was observed during normal invertase gene expression in potato. The fidelity of post-transcriptional processing of the pre-mRNA from one of the genes was perturbed by cold stress, resulting in the deletion of the mini-exon from some transcripts. This alternative splicing event occurred under cold stress in both leaf and stem, but was not induced by wounding. This adds an example of exon skipping and the induction of alternative processing by cold stress to the small number of transcripts which have been shown to exhibit alternative splicing in plants. The differential sensitivity of post-transcriptional processing to cold stress observed for the two transcripts examined will permit further dissection of the nucleotide sequence requirements for their accurate splicing.
