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 intraflagellar transport (IFT) machinery consists of the anterograde motor kinesin-II, the retrograde motor IFT dynein, and the IFT-A and -B complexes. However, the interaction among IFT motors and IFT complexes during IFT remains elusive. Here, we show that the IFT-B protein IFT54 interacts with both kinesin-II and IFT dynein and regulates anterograde IFT. Deletion of residues 342-356 of Chlamydomonas IFT54 resulted in diminished anterograde traffic of IFT and accumulation of IFT motors and complexes in the proximal region of cilia. IFT54 directly interacted with kinesin-II and this interaction was strengthened for the IFT54
