Evolution and functional diversification of the small heat shock protein/α-crystallin family in higher plants.
Article in Planta, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers.
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
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are chaperones that play an important role in stress tolerance. They consist of an alpha-crystallin domain (ACD) flanked by N- and C-terminal regions. However, not all proteins that contain an ACD, hereafter referred to as ACD proteins, are sHSPs because certain ACD proteins are known to have different functions. Furthermore, since not all ACD proteins have been identified yet, current classifications are incomplete. A total of 17 complete plant proteomes were screened for the presence of ACD proteins by HMMER profiling and the identified ACD protein sequences were classified by maximum likelihood phylogeny. Differences among and within groups were analysed, and levels of functional constraint were determined. There are 29 different classes of ACD proteins, eight of which contain classical sHSPs and five likely chaperones. The other classes contain proteins with uncharacterised or poorly characterised functions. N- and C-terminal sequences are conserved within the phylogenetic classes. Phylogenetics suggests a single duplication of the CI sHSP ancestor that occurred prior to the speciation of mono- and dicotyledons. This was followed by a number of more recent duplications that resulted in the presence of many paralogues. The results suggest that N- and C-terminal sequences of sHSPs play a role in class-specific functionality and that non-sHSP ACD proteins have conserved but unexplored functions, which are mainly determined by subsequences other than that of the ACD.
