A Salt-Induced 60-Kilodalton Plasma Membrane Protein Plays a Potential Role in the Extreme Halotolerance of the Alga Dunaliella.

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.
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 halotolerant alga Dunaliella salina grows in saline conditions as varied as 0.5 and 5 M NaCl, maintaining throughout this range a low intracellular ion concentration. To discover factors potentially involved in ionic homeostasis, we grew cells in media with different salinities or osmolarities and compared their protein profiles. The comparisons indicated that the amount of a 60-kD protein, p60, greatly increased with an increase in salinity and was moderately enhanced when NaCl was substituted with iso-osmotic glycerol. Cells transferred from low to high NaCl or from high glycerol to iso-osmotic NaCl media transiently ceased to grow, and resumption of growth coincided approximately with an increase in p60. The protein, extracted from a plasma membrane fraction, was purified to homogeneity. Anti-p60 antibodies cross-reacted with a 60-kD protein in Dunaliella bardawil. Immunoelectron microscopy of D. salina cell sections indicated that p60 was exclusively located in the plasma membrane. Its induction by salt, the correlation between its accumulation and growth resumption in high concentrations of salt, and its plasma membrane localization suggest the possibility that p60 could play a role in ionic homeostasis in conditions of high salinity, although different types of function could also be considered.
