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

An Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA was isolated by complementation of the Escherichia coli mutant strain BW535 (xth, nfo, nth), which is defective in DNA base excision repair pathways. This cDNA partially complements the methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) sensitive phenotype of BW535. It also partially corrects the UV-sensitive phenotype of E. coli AB1886 (uvrA) and restores its ability to reactivate UV-irradiated lambda phage. It has an insert of ca. 1.3 kb with an open reading frame of 1047 bp (predicting a protein with a molecular mass of 36 kDa). This cDNA presents a high homology to a stress related gene from two species of Fusarium (sti35) and to genes whose products participate in the thiamine biosynthesis pathway, THI4, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and nmt2 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The Arabidopsis predicted polypeptide has homology to several protein motifs: amino-terminal chloroplast transit peptide, dinucleotide binding site, DNA binding and bacterial DNA polymerases. The auxotrophy for thiamine in the yeast thi4::URA3 disruption strain is complemented by the Arabidopsis gene. Thus, the cloned gene, named thi1, is likely to function in the biosynthesis of thiamine in plants. The data presented in this work indicate that thi1 may also be involved in DNA damage tolerance in plant cells.
