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

The integration of light-harvesting chlorophyll proteins (LHCPs) into the thylakoid membrane requires the integral thylakoid membrane protein ALB3, a homologue of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane protein YidC. In bacteria, YidC is associated with the SecY-translocase and facilitates the integration of Sec-dependent proteins into the plasma membrane. In addition, it is also involved in the insertion of Sec-independent proteins. In the present study we demonstrate, in Arabidopsis thaliana, that most ALB3 is a constituent of an oligomeric complex of approx. 180 kDa. In addition, we detected ALB3 in several higher-molecular-mass complexes (up to 700 kDa). Furthermore, we show that most ALB3 co-fractionates with cpSecY during gel-filtration analysis and blue native gel electrophoresis, suggesting an association of ALB3 with the cpSecY complex. A direct interaction of ALB3 with the cpSecY complex was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation experiments using digitonin-solubilized thylakoid membrane proteins and anti-cpSecY or anti-ALB3 antibodies. This result was further confirmed by electron microscopic co-immunolocalization of ALB3 and cpSecY. In addition, an association of ALB3 with the cpSecY complex was demonstrated directly by cross-linking experiments using the chemical cross-linker disuccinimidyl suberate.
