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

Plastid division in higher plants is morphologically similar to bacterial cell division, with a process termed binary fission involving constriction of the envelope membranes. FtsZ proteins involved in bacterial division are also present in higher plants, in which the ftsZ genes belong to two distinct families: ftsZ1 and ftsZ2. However, the roles of the corresponding proteins FtsZ1 and FtsZ2 in plastid division have not been determined. Here we show that the expression of plant FtsZ1 and FtsZ2 in bacteria has different effects on cell division, and that distinct protein domains are involved in the process. We have studied the assembly of purified FtsZ1 and FtsZ2 using a chemical cross-linking approach followed by PAGE and electron microscopy analyses of the resulting polymers. This has revealed that FtsZ1 is capable of forming long rod-shaped polymers and rings similar to the bacterial FtsZ structures, whereas FtsZ2 does not form any organized polymer. Moreover, using purified sub-plastidial fractions, we show that both proteins are present in the stroma, and that a subset of FtsZ2 is tightly bound to the purified envelope membranes. These results indicate that FtsZ2 has a localization pattern distinct from that of FtsZ1, which can be related to distinct properties of the proteins. From the results presented here, we propose a model for the sequential topological localization and functions of green plant FtsZ1 and FtsZ2 in chloroplast division.
