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

Plant defensins are small (~5 kDa) basic cysteine-rich proteins that are being explored in important agricultural crops for their ability to confer enhanced disease resistance against fungal pathogens. NaD1, isolated from the flowers of the ornamental tobacco (Nicotiana alata), is a particularly well characterized antifungal defensin. Here, the crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of NaD1 is reported. Crystals of NaD1 were crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 291 K. Data were collected from two crystal forms to 1.4 and 1.6 Å resolution, respectively. The crystals of form A belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 32.697, b = 32.685, c = 41.977 Å, α = 90, β = 100.828, γ = 90°, whereas crystals of form B belonged to the trigonal space group P3(2)21, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 33.091, c = 128.77 Å, α = β = 90, γ = 120°.
