YCF1: A Green TIC: Response to the de Vries et al. Commentary.
Article in The Plant cell, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
This response to a recent Commentary article by de Vries et al. highlights critical errors in the annotation and identification of Ycf1 homologs in the sequenced chloroplast genomes. Contrary to what is reported by de Vries et al., the majority of chloroplast genomes sequenced to date appear to have retained a typical Ycf1 sequence (i.e., including the N-terminal 6TM domain and a variable hydrophilic C-terminal domain) as my group previously reported. Our evidence continues to support the model that Ycf1 forms an essential component of a "green TIC" that is largely conserved among the Chlorophyta and land plants. Since the establishment of this green TIC with Tic20 as the core component, some cases of loss of Ycf1 during the evolution of the green lineages might be regarded as modifications or alterations of the complex. Here, I discuss our working model that the presence of an alternative "nonphotosynthetic-type" or "ancestral-type" TIC might explain other (or specific) cases of the lack of Ycf1, not only in early lineages, including Glaucophyta and Rhodophyta, but also in the grasses.
