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

Phase separation underpins many biologically important cellular events such as RNA metabolism, signaling, and CO2 fixation. However, determining the composition of a phase-separated organelle is often challenging due to its sensitivity to environmental conditions, which limits the application of traditional proteomic techniques like organellar purification or affinity purification mass spectrometry to understand their composition. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Rubisco is condensed into a crucial phase-separated organelle called the pyrenoid that improves photosynthetic performance by supplying Rubisco with elevated concentrations of CO2. Here, we developed a TurboID-based proximity labeling technique in which proximal proteins in Chlamydomonas chloroplasts are labeled by biotin radicals generated from the TurboID-tagged protein. By fusing 2 core pyrenoid components with the TurboID tag, we generated a high-confidence pyrenoid proxiome that contains most known pyrenoid proteins, in addition to new pyrenoid candidates. Fluorescence protein tagging of 7 previously uncharacterized TurboID-identified proteins showed that 6 localized to a range of subpyrenoid regions. The resulting proxiome also suggests new secondary functions for the pyrenoid in RNA-associated processes and redox-sensitive iron-sulfur cluster metabolism. This developed pipeline can be used to investigate a broad range of biological processes in Chlamydomonas, especially at a temporally resolved suborganellar resolution.
