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

A cDNA clone encoding a WD-40 repeat protein (BGB1) was characterized in Brassica napus L. The clone contained an open reading frame of 327 amino acid residues almost entirely composed of seven segments of WD-40 repeats. Among the WD-40 repeat proteins, BGB1 showed high similarity (63% identity) to a rat intracellular receptor for protein kinase C (RACK1) that functions in the translocation of activated protein kinase C (PKC) from the cytosolic fraction to the membrane fraction. BGB1 also had two sequence motifs involved in binding of RACK1 to PKC. The cDNA clone, when carried in a Xenopus oocyte expression vector and injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes, inhibited insulin-induced maturation of the oocytes, a PKC-mediated pathway, and this inhibition was accompanied by reduction of PKC in the membrane fraction, as in the case of mammalian RACKs. The data show that BGB1 shares some common functional characteristics with the mammalian RACK1 along with the structural similarity, suggesting that a mammalian RACK1-related cellular process might be operating in plants. Southern blot analyses of the genome of B. napus and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. revealed that BGB1-related genes constitute a small multigene family in both species. An approximately 1.4-kb transcript was constitutively expressed in all organs examined.
