Moonlighting proteins: putting the spotlight on enzymes.
Article in Plant signaling & behavior, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
AROGENATE DEHAYDRATASE2 (ADT2) is a member of the Arabidopsis thaliana ADT family. All members of this family act as arogenate dehydratases in phenylalanine biosynthesis, decarboxylating/dehydrating arogenate to phenylalanine. ADT2 is detected in stromules, and as a ring around the equatorial plane of dividing chloroplasts, indicating it has a second, non-enzymatic function in chloroplast division. Here, we provide further evidence for this alternative role of ADT2. First, we demonstrate that ADT2 and FtsZ co-localize around the equatorial plane at the same time. Second, FtsZ expression in an adt2 mutant was analyzed, as well as ADT2 expression in three Arabidopsis chloroplast division mutants, ACCUMULATION AND REPLICATION OF CHLOROPLASTS3 (ARC3), ARC5 and ARC6. In arc3 and arc6 mutants, ADT2 is misexpressed and resembles the expression of FtsZ in the same mutants. However, in the arc5 mutant, ADT2 ring positioning is observed at constriction points indicating proper relative timing. ADT2 expression in the arc mutants shows that the role of ADT2 in chloroplast division occurs prior to ARC5, but is dependent on ARC3 and ARC6. Abbreviations used: ADT: arogenate dehydratase, ARC: accumulation and replication of chloroplasts, CFP: cyan fluorescent protein, dpi: days post infiltration, FtsZ: filamentous temperature sensitive Z, PD: plastid division, Phe: phenylalanine, YFP: yellow fluorescent protein.
