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

As part of the D-2 Spacelab mission, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) protoplasts were cultured for 10 days in microgravity and successfully regenerated into microcalli, which, after further cultivation on the ground, gave rise to intact plants. Protein analysis was performed on samples taken during the initial microgravity period and compared to ground controls. Total protein content and protein patterns were monitored, as well as the cytoskeletal proteins tubulin and actin, a key enzyme of secondary metabolism, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, and the pathogenesis-related protein osmotin. None of the investigated proteins showed a gravity-dependent effect. Since relative changes due to culture age were detectable in the immunoblots as well as in the total protein pattern, an adaptation of the cells to microgravity without major modifications of their protein complement may be assumed.
