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

Chloroplasts inherited systems and strategies for protein targeting, translocation, and integration from their cyanobacterial ancestor. Unlike cyanobacteria however, chloroplasts in green algae and plants contain two distinct SEC translocase/integrase systems: the SEC1 system in the thylakoid membrane and the SEC2 system in the inner envelope membrane. This review summarizes the mode of action of SEC translocases, identification of components of the SEC2 system, evolutionary history of SCY and SECA genes, and previous work on the co- and post-translational targeting of lumenal and thylakoid membrane proteins to the SEC1 system. Recent work identifying substrates for the SEC2 system and potential features that may contribute to inner envelope targeting are also discussed.
