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

The seed storage proteins of soybean (Glycine max) are composed mainly of glycinin (11S globulin) and β-conglycinin (7S globulin). The subunits of glycinin (A1aB1b, A1bB2, A2B1a, A3B4, and A5A4B3) are synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor. These precursors are assembled into trimers with a random combination of subunits in the endoplasmic reticulum, and are sorted to the protein storage vacuoles. Proteins destined for transport to protein storage vacuoles possess a vacuolar sorting determinant, and in this regard, the A1aB1b subunit contains a C-terminal peptide that is sufficient for its sorting to protein storage vacuoles. The A3B4 subunit, however, lacks a corresponding C-terminal sorting determinant. In this study, we found that, unlike the A1aB1b subunit, the A3B4 subunit does not bind to previously reported vacuolar sorting receptors. Despite this difference, we observed that the A3B4 subunit is sorted to protein storage vacuoles in a transgenic soybean line expressing the A3B4 subunit of glycinin. These results indicate that a protein storage vacuolar sorting mechanism that functions independently of the known vacuolar sorting receptors in seeds might be present in soybean seeds.
