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

Post-transcriptional gene silencing in transgenic plants is the manifestation of a mechanism that suppresses RNA accumulation in a sequence-specific manner. The target RNA species may be the products of transgenes, endogenous plant genes or viral RNAs. For an RNA to be a target it is necessary only that it has sequence homology to the sense RNA product of the transgene. There are three current hypotheses to account for the mechanism of post transcriptional gene silencing. These models all require production of an antisense RNA of the RNA targets to account for the specificity of the mechanism. There could be either direct transcription of the antisense RNA from the transgene, antisense RNA produced in response to over expression of the transgene or antisense RNA produced in response to the production of an aberrant sense RNA product of the transgene. To determine which of these models is correct it will be necessary to find out whether transgene methylation, which is frequently associated with the potential of transgenes to confer post-transcriptional gene silencing, is a cause or a consequence of the process.
