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

We have investigated a light-conditional mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (J12) that is unable to synthesize chlorophyll in the dark with the aim of characterizing the mitochondrial membrane polypeptides of this alga. A crude membrane fraction derived from etiolated cells was analyzed by gel electrophoresis, immunoblot analysis, and pulse-labeling in the presence of specific protein synthesis inhibitors. This fraction contained both mitochondrial and etioplast membranes, and the latter contained appreciable amounts of subunits of the cytochrome b6f complex. The mitochondria-encoded subunit 1 of cytochrome-c oxidase called COX1 was identified, and its synthesis was detected in this membrane fraction. The redox-difference spectra of mitochondrial cytochromes were studied in whole cells and membrane fractions, in both respiratory-competent and -deficient strains. Mitochondrial membranes could be further purified after sucrose gradient centrifugation. The use of etiolated cells and their membrane extracts, in association with appropriate methodologies, opens ways to study the molecular genetics of mitochondria in C. reinhardtii and allows us to address the question of the cooperation established between the three genetic compartments of a plant cell.
