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

In transgenic tobacco, pea Ferredoxin-1 (Fed-1) mRNA accumulates rapidly in response to photosynthesis even when the transgene is driven by a constitutive promoter. To investigate the role of photosynthesis on Fed-1 mRNA stability, we used the tetracycline repressible Top10 promoter system to specifically shut off transcription of the Fed-1 transgene. The Fed-1 mRNA has a half-life of approximately 2.4 hr in the light and a half-life of only 1.2 hr in the dark or in the presence of the photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU). These data indicate that cessation of photosynthesis, either by darkness or DCMU results in a destabilization of the Fed-1 mRNA. Furthermore, the Fed-1 mRNA half-life is reduced immediately upon transfer to darkness, suggesting that Fed-1 mRNA destabilization is a primary response to photosynthesis rather than a secondary response to long-term dark adaptation. Finally, the two different methods for efficient tetracycline delivery reported here generally should be useful for half-life measurements of other mRNAs in whole plants.
