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

At-P5R, a gene encoding the last enzyme of the proline (Pro) biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, is developmentally regulated. To characterize the cis elements responsible for this developmental regulation, a series of 5' deletions of the At-P5R promoter were transcriptionally fused to a beta-glucuronidase (GUS)-coding region and transformed into Arabidopsis. The complete promoter of At-P5R directs strong GUS activity in root tips, the shoot meristem, guard cells, hydathodes, pollen grains, ovules, and developing seeds, all of which contain rapidly dividing cells and/or are undergoing changes in osmotic potential. This expression pattern is consistent with the function of Pro as an energy, nitrogen, and carbon source and as an osmoticum in response to dehydration. Promoters longer than 212 base pairs (bp) showed the same expression pattern, whereas those shorter than 143 bp did not direct any detectable GUS activity in any organs. This suggests that a 69-bp promoter region located between -212 and -143 bp is necessary to establish the tissue-specific expression of At-P5R during development. The Pro content measured in different organs suggests that, in addition to transcriptional control of the biosynthetic pathway, the transport of Pro may play a role in its distribution within Arabidopsis. Several aspects of the relationship between Pro metabolism and plant physiology are discussed.
