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

Homology-dependent gene silencing (HdGS) which is the generic term for transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) and RNA-mediated virus-resistance (RmVR) has been shown to frequently occur in transgenic plants. The role of RNA as a target and initiator of PTGS and RmVR is more and more manifested. Because TGS is assumed to be induced by a DNA-DNA interaction-mediated promoter methylation, a possible involvement of RNA in TGS was not really considered up to now. In this review we attempt to demonstrate that all three types of HdGS could be triggered by one RNA-based mechanism. A model proposing TGS as a consequence of RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) and a refined mRNA threshold mechanism are presented. In contrast to the view that high amounts of mRNA are required we assume that the concentration of RNAs that can serve as efficient templates for a plant-encoded RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) plays a key role in HdGS and possibly also in natural gene regulation of non-transformed cells. According to this idea a particular information must be encoded to render mRNA turn-over products a suitable RdRP substrate. It will be discussed that such a mechanism could account for the silencing phenomena of poorly transcribed transgenes. Finally, an explanation for the coherency between PTGS and DNA methylation is documented.
