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

According to previous studies the expression of the gene DC 2.15 is induced in cultured carrot cells after a transfer to an auxin-free medium, where somatic embryo development occurs. This embryogenic gene encodes a prolinerich protein, which resembles proteins involved in auxin-controlled developmental processes. To understand the mechanism underlying the regulation of DC 2.15, an experimental approach has been employed which allows the direct identification of the DC 2.15 promoter structure by applying PCR techniques. We demonstrate the presence of five distinct promoter sequences highly similar in structure, but slightly different in a common region of about 15 nucleotides, which contain the binding site for the GATA factor originally found in the human HOX gene. Activity of each promoter structure was assessed in developing somatic embryos containing the specific sequence fused to the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene. For two of the five promoter structures a drastic increase in activity was registered during the torpedo stage while the remaining three were inactive throughout the stages of somatic embryogenesis.
