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

Plants make up by far the largest part of biomass on Earth. They are the primary source of food and the basis of most drugs used for medicinal purposes. Similarly to all eukaryotes, plant cells also use mitochondria for energy production. Among mitochondrial gene expression processes, translation is the least understood; although, recent advances have revealed the specificities of its main component, the mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosome). Here, we present a detailed protocol to extract highly pure cauliflower mitochondria by differential centrifugation for the purification of mitochondrial ribosomes using a sucrose gradient and the preparation of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) grids. Finally, the specific bioinformatics pipeline used for image acquisition, the processing steps, and the data analysis used for cryo-EM of the plant mitoribosome are described. This protocol will be used for further analysis of the critical steps of mitochondrial translation, such as its initiation and regulation.
