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

Plants of Arabidopsis thaliana pre-treated at 37 degrees C for 2 h can survive an otherwise lethal heat shock at 45 degrees C. Differential display reverse transcriptase-PCR (DDRT-PCR) was utilized to clone DNA fragments corresponding to mRNAs specifically expressed in conditions of induced thermotolerance or of expression of thermotolerance. One of these DDRT-PCR fragments enabled the isolation of a genomic clone pAt1.3EX, containing the sequence Athsp23.5, the gene for a low-molecular-weight (LMW) heat shock protein (HSP), AtHSP23.5. Athsp23.5 is low- or single-copy in the Arabidopsis genome and its open reading frame is interrupted by a 137 bp intron. Analysis of the sequence suggests AtHSP23.5 is targeted to the mitochondrion. The steady-state level of the AtHSP23.5 mRNA varied significantly according to the heat treatment, increasing on heat shock (transfer from 22 degrees C to 37 degrees C), with a further increase during expression of thermotolerance (transfer from 22 degrees C to 37 degrees C and then to 45 degrees C). Expression was low after an abrupt stress (from 22 degrees C to 45 degrees C). This behaviour was different from that observed for other LMW HSP mRNAs that were present at high level at 37 degrees C, but did not increase significantly in condition of expression of thermotolerance, and reached a considerable steady-state level also during the abrupt stress at 45 degrees C. The retrotranscription of AtHSP23.5 mRNA followed by amplification with two primers encompassing the intron allowed for the isolation of an almost full-length cDNA sequence. The sequence analysis of the two cDNAs obtained from condition 22 degrees C-->37 degrees C and condition 22 degrees C-->45 degrees C suggested that in both cases the intron had been correctly spliced. The importance of correct intron splicing in survival at high temperatures and the role of mitochondrial HSP in induction and expression of thermotolerance are discussed.
