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

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) play a critical role in translation and are thus required in three plant protein-synthesizing compartments: cytosol, mitochondria and plastids. A systematic study had previously shown extensive sharing of organellar AARSs from Arabidopsis thaliana, mostly between mitochondria and chloroplasts. However, distribution of AARSs from monocot species, such as maize, has never been experimentally investigated. Here we demonstrate dual targeting of maize seryl-tRNA synthetase, SerZMo, into both mitochondria and chloroplasts using combination of complementary methods, including in vitro import assay, transient expression analysis of green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions and immunodetection. We also show that SerZMo dual localization is established by the virtue of an ambiguous targeting peptide. Full-length SerZMo protein fused to GFP is targeted to chloroplast stromules, indicating that SerZMo protein performs its function in plastid stroma. The deletion mutant lacking N-terminal region of the ambiguous SerZMo targeting peptide was neither targeted into mitochondria nor chloroplasts, indicating the importance of this region in both mitochondrial and chloroplastic import.
