Comprehensive egg coat proteome of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis reveals gamete recognition molecules involved in self-sterility.

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
Despite central roles of egg coat proteins in gamete recognition, their functions and composition are poorly understood. Here, we report that the proteome of the egg coat in the solitary ascidian Ciona intestinalis, called vitelline coat (VC) fraction, contains more than 800 proteins identified by mass spectrometry-based analyses. Over 100 proteins were enriched in the VC fraction compared with the VC-free egg proteome. The most abundant component in the VC was an apolipoprotein-like protein. The VC contained multiple homologs of mammalian zona pellucida (ZP) proteins, the number of which was unexpectedly large and most of which possessed epidermal growth factor-like repeats. Furthermore, the present study revealed that two fibrinogen-like proteins, v-Themis-A and -B, both of which are expressed in the VC, are the molecules responsible for the two self-sterility loci that were identified by our previous genetic study in this species.
