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 study of the expression of a bean phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) promoter/beta-glucuronidase gene fusion in transgenic tobacco has shown that the PAL2 promoter has a modular organization. Expression of the PAL2 promoter in the vascular system involves positive and negative regulatory cis elements. Among these elements is an AC-rich motif implicated in xylem expression and a suppressing cis element for phloem expression. Using radiolabelled complementary oligonucleotides bearing the AC-rich motif, a cDNA clone encoding a DNA-binding protein has been isolated from a tobacco lambda gt11 expression library. This factor, named AC-rich binding factor (ACBF), showed binding specificity to the AC-rich region. The specificity of ACBF for the AC-rich region was also shown using a gel retardation assay with an ACBF recombinant protein extract. The deduced amino acid sequence from ACBF contains a long repeat of glutamine residues as found in well characterized transcription factors. Interestingly, ACBF shared sequence similarity to conserved amino acid motifs found in RNA-binding proteins. Genomic gel blot analysis indicated the presence of a small gene family of sequences related to ACBF within the tobacco nuclear genome. Analysis of tobacco mRNA using the ACBF cDNA as probe showed that while ACBF mRNA was present in all tissues examined, the highest transcript accumulation occurred in stem tissues. The functional characteristics of the AC-rich sequence were examined in transgenic tobacco. A heptamer of the AC-rich sequence, in front of a minimal 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus (-46 to +4), conferred specific expression in xylem.
