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

Inner-arm dynein-f of Chlamydomonas flagella is a heterodimeric dynein. We performed conventional in vitro motility assays showing that dynein-f translocates microtubules at the comparatively low velocity of approximately 1.2 microm/s. From the dependence of velocity upon the surface density of dynein-f, we estimate its duty ratio to be 0.6-0.7. The relation between microtubule landing rate and surface density of dynein-f are well fitted by the first-power dependence, as expected for a processive motor. At low dynein densities, progressing microtubules rotate erratically about a fixed point on the surface, at which a single dynein-f molecule is presumably located. We conclude that dynein-f has high processivity. In an axoneme, however, slow and processive dynein-f could impede microtubule sliding driven by other fast dyneins (e.g., dynein-c). To obtain insight into the in vivo roles of dynein-f, we measured the sliding velocity of microtubules driven by a mixture of dyneins -c and -f at various mixing ratios. The velocity is modulated as a function of the ratio of dynein-f in the mixture. This modulation suggests that dynein-f acts as a load in the axoneme, but force pushing dynein-f molecules forward seems to accelerate their dissociation from microtubules.
