Dual targeting of plastid division protein FtsZ to chloroplasts and the cytoplasm.
Article in EMBO reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
FtsZ is a filament-forming protein that assembles into a ring at the division site of prokaryotic cells. As FtsZ and tubulin share several biochemical and structural similarities, FtsZ is regarded as the ancestor of tubulin. Chloroplasts--the descendants of endosymbiotic bacteria within plant cells--also harbour FtsZ. In contrast to eubacteria, plants have several different FtsZ isoforms. So far, these isoforms have only been implicated with filamentous structures, rings and networks, inside chloroplasts. Here, we demonstrate that a novel FtsZ isoform in the moss Physcomitrella patens is located not only in chloroplasts but also in the cytoplasm, assembling into rings in both cell compartments. These findings comprise the first report on cytosolic localization of a eukaryotic FtsZ isoform, and indicate that this protein might connect cell and organelle division at least in moss.
