Unidirectional transport of orthophosphate across the envelope of isolated cauliflower-bud amyloplasts.

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
Isolated amyloplasts from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var botrytis) buds are able to export orthophosphate unidirectionally into the incubation medium. This orthophosphate transport appears to be protein-mediated, as indicated by the following observations: (i) low temperature and the presence of inhibitors of protein-mediated transport reduced the rate of orthophosphate export, and (ii) the rate of orthophosphate export became saturated with rising internal substrate concentrations. Micromolar concentrations of 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulphonic acid inhibited the rate of unidirectional orthophosphate export, thus indicating the involvement of the amyloplastic glucose-6-phosphate (Glc6P)translocator in the unidirectional export of orthophosphate. The effect of rising concentrations of orthophosphate upon the activity of ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase in desalted extracts was determined. Orthophosphate given in concentrations similar to those measured in the amyloplastic stroma under conditions of steady-state rates of Glc6P-dependent starch synthesis inhibited the activity of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase significantly. However, even under strong limiting substrate conditions the residual activity was sufficient to catalyze the flux of carbon into starch. The maximal rates of orthophosphate transport (in the counter-exchange mode) by isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts and by isolated cauliflower-bud amyloplasts were also determined. These rates were compared with the maximal rates of undirectional orthophosphate export by these plastids. From these measurements we can conclude that, compared with spinach chloroplasts, isolated amyloplasts of cauliflower exhibit a fivefold greater ratio of unidirectional orthophosphate transport to maximal rate of orthophosphate transport in the counter-exchange mode compared to spinach chloroplasts. The determined rate of maximal unidirectional orthophosphate export is sufficient to catalyze the release of additional inorganic phosphate liberated in the amyloplastic stroma during the process of Glc6P-dependent starch synthesis.
