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

Tic22 is a component of the protein-import apparatus of the chloroplasts of plants and algae and the apicoplasts of the Apicomplexa, a large group of organisms that includes the parasites that cause malaria. Tic22 is important for protein import into these organelles and for organelle biogenesis. It lies between the two membranes of chloroplasts, making interactions with components of both the TIC and TOC complexes. In the apicoplast, it is predicted to be located between the inner two membranes and to play a similar role in import. Although Tic22 is ubiquitous, its function is as yet uncertain. Tic22 from Plasmodium falciparum was therefore overproduced, purified and crystallized. A data set extending to 2.15 Å resolution has been collected from a crystal containing selenomethionine-labelled protein and structure determination is under way.
