Comparative phylogenetic analysis of cystatin gene families from arabidopsis, rice and barley.
Article in Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
The plant cystatins or phytocystatins comprise a family of specific inhibitors of cysteine proteinases. Such inhibitors are thought to be involved in the regulation of several endogenous processes and in defence against pests and pathogens. Extensive searches in the complete rice and Arabidopsis genomes and in barley EST collections have allowed us to predict the presence of twelve different cystatin genes in rice, seven in Arabidopsis, and at least seven in barley. Structural comparisons based on alignments of all the protein sequences using the CLUSTALW program and searches for conserved motifs using the MEME program have revealed broad conservation of the main motifs characteristic of the plant cystatins. Phylogenetic analyses based on their deduced amino acid sequences have allowed us to identify groups of orthologous cystatins, and to establish homologies and define examples of gene duplications mainly among the rice and barley cystatin genes. Moreover, the absence of a counterpart between the two monocots, as well as strong variations in the motifs that interact with the cysteine proteinases, may be related to a species-specific evolutionary process. This cystatin classification should facilitate the assignment of proteinase specificities and functions to other cystatins as new information is obtained.
