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

Tetrahymena and Paramecium species are widely used representatives of the phylum Ciliata. Ciliates are particularly suitable model organisms for studying the functional heterogeneity of tubulins, since they provide a wide range of different microtubular structures in a single cell. Sequencing projects of the genomes of members of these two genera are in progress. Nearly all members of the tubulin superfamily (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-, epsilon-, eta-, theta-, iota-, and kappa-tubulins) have been identified in Paramecium tetraurelia. In Tetrahymena spp., the functional consequences of different posttranslational tubulin modifications (acetylation, tyrosination and detyrosination, phosphorylation, glutamylation, and glycylation) have been studied by different approaches. These model organisms provide the opportunity to determine the function of tubulins found in ciliates, as well as in humans, but absent in some other model organisms. They also give us an opportunity to explore the mechanisms underlying microtubule diversity. Here we review current knowledge concerning the diversity of microtubular structures, tubulin genes, and posttranslational modifications in Tetrahymena and Paramecium species.
