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

Oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) are an important component of Ca2+-based signal transduction pathways. This fact has led us to investigate whether oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt are involved in the response of stomatal guard cells to the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). We show that ABA induces oscillations in guard-cell [Ca2+]cyt. The pattern of the oscillations depended on the ABA concentration and correlated with the final stomatal aperture. We examined the mechanism by which ABA generates oscillations in guard-cell [Ca2+]cyt by using 1-(6-[17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3, 5(10)-trien-17-yl]aminohexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U-73122), an inhibitor of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC)-dependent processes in animals. U-73122 inhibited the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate by a recombinant PI-PLC, isolated from a guard-cell-enriched cDNA library, in a dose-dependent manner. This result confirms that U-73122 is an inhibitor of plant PI-PLC activity. U-73122 inhibited both ABA-induced oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt and stomatal closure. In contrast, U-73122 did not inhibit external Ca2+-induced oscillations in guard-cell [Ca2+]cyt and stomatal closure. Furthermore, there was no effect of the inactive analogue 1-(6-[17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3, 5(10)-trien-17-yl]aminohexyl)-2,5-pyrrolidinedione on recombinant PI-PLC activity or ABA-induced and external Ca2+-induced oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt and stomatal closure. This lack of effect suggests that the effects of U-73122 in guard cells are the result of inhibition of PI-PLC and not a consequence of nonspecific effects. Taken together, our data suggest a role for PI-PLC in the generation of ABA-induced oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt and point toward the involvement of oscillations in [Ca2+]cyt in the maintenance of stomatal aperture by ABA.
