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

Many proteins of the photosynthesis complexes are encoded by the genome of the chloroplast and synthesized by bacterium-like ribosomes within this organelle. To determine where proteins are synthesized for the de novo assembly and repair of photosystem II (PSII) in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence staining, and confocal microscopy. These locations were defined as having colocalized chloroplast mRNAs encoding PSII subunits and proteins of the chloroplast translation machinery specifically under conditions of PSII subunit synthesis. The results revealed that the synthesis of the D1 subunit for the repair of photodamaged PSII complexes occurs in regions of the chloroplast with thylakoids, consistent with the current model. However, for de novo PSII assembly, PSII subunit synthesis was detected in discrete regions near the pyrenoid, termed T zones (for translation zones). In two PSII assembly mutants, unassembled D1 subunits and incompletely assembled PSII complexes localized around the pyrenoid, where we propose that they mark an intermediate compartment of PSII assembly. These results reveal a novel chloroplast compartment that houses de novo PSII biogenesis and the regulated transport of newly assembled PSII complexes to thylakoid membranes throughout the chloroplast.
