Revealing differentially expressed proteins in two morphological forms of Spirulina platensis by proteomic analysis.
Article in Molecular biotechnology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Spirulina is distinguished from other cyanobacteria by its spiral morphology; however, this cyanobacterium has frequently been observed with a linear morphology in laboratory and industrial conditions. In our laboratory conditions, the simultaneously presence of the linear and spiral forms has also been observed. In the present study, the two forms of S. platensis C1 were separated and grown as axenic cultures in order to study the proteins that were differentially expressed in the soluble and insoluble protein fractions of the spiral and the linear forms. Two dimensional-differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was performed to separate differentially expressed proteins that were subsequently identified by mass spectrometry. The differentially expressed proteins suggested two points. First, the morphological change is possibly induced by various environmental stresses such as oxygen level, carbon dioxide level, nutrient availability, and light. Second, the change of cell-shape might be a result of the change in a cell shape determination mechanism. Thus, this study is the first to show evidence at the protein level that may explain this morphological transformation in Spirulina.
