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

Formation of flagellar outer dynein arms in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii requires the ODA16 protein at a previously uncharacterized assembly step. Here, we show that dynein extracted from wild-type axonemes can rebind to oda16 axonemes in vitro, and dynein in oda16 cytoplasmic extracts can bind to docking sites on pf28 (oda) axonemes, which is consistent with a role for ODA16 in dynein transport, rather than subunit preassembly or binding site formation. ODA16 localization resembles that seen for intraflagellar transport (IFT) proteins, and flagellar abundance of ODA16 depends on IFT. Yeast two-hybrid analysis with mammalian homologues identified an IFT complex B subunit, IFT46, as a directly interacting partner of ODA16. Interaction between Chlamydomonas ODA16 and IFT46 was confirmed through in vitro pull-down assays and coimmunoprecipitation from flagellar extracts. ODA16 appears to function as a cargo-specific adaptor between IFT particles and outer row dynein needed for efficient dynein transport into the flagellar compartment.
