An equilibrium model for the Mg(2+)-linked self-assembly of FtsZ in the presence of GTP or a GTP analogue.

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
The concerted formation of a narrow distribution of oligomeric FtsZ species in the presence of GTP or a GTP analogue under close to physiological conditions (neutral pH and 0.5 M K(+)) has been characterized recently by various biophysical methods [Monterroso, B., et al. (2012) Biochemistry 51, 4541-4550]. An equilibrium model may semiquantitatively account for the results of this study; in the model, FtsZ self-associates in a noncooperative fashion to form linear fibrils, that upon increasing to a certain size exhibit an increasing tendency to form closed cyclic fibrils, as previously suggested [González, J. M., et al. (2005) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 102, 1895-1900]. The closed cyclic fibrils are formed when the natural curvature and flexibility of a linear oligomer bring the ends of a linear fiber sufficiently close to overcome the entropic barrier to loop closure. The size distribution of cyclic oligomers is thus a reflection of the tendency toward curvature of linear fibrils of FtsZ under the conditions used in these experiments.
