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

The chloroplast inner envelope membrane contains many integral proteins which differ in the number of alpha-helices that anchor the protein into the bilayer. For most of these proteins it is not known which pathway they engage to reach their final localisation within the membrane. In yeast mitochondria, two distinct sorting/insertion pathways have been described for integral inner membrane proteins, involving the Tim22 and Tim23 translocases. These routes involve on the one hand a conservative sorting, on the other hand a stop-transfer pathway. In this study we performed a systematic characterisation of the import behaviour of seven inner envelope proteins representing different numbers of predicted alpha-helices. We investigated their energy dependence, import rate, involvement of components of the chloroplast general import pathway and distribution between soluble and membrane fractions. Our results show the existence of at least two different families of inner envelope proteins that can be classified due to the occurrence of an intermediate processing form. Each of the proteins we investigated seems to use a stop-transfer pathway for insertion into the inner envelope.
