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, as the organelles primarily responsible for photosynthesis, require a substantial supply of iron ions. Conversely, due to Fe toxicity, the homeostasis of these ions is subject to tight regulation. Permease in chloroplast 1 (PIC1) has been identified as the primary iron importer into chloroplasts. However, previous studies suggested the existence of a distinct pathway for Fe transfer to chloroplasts, likely involving mitoferrin-like 1 (MFL1) protein. In this work, Arabidopsis MFL1 (AtMFL1) and its cucumber homolog (CsMFL1) were characterized using, among others, Arabidopsis protoplasts as well as both yeast and Arabidopsis mutants. Localization of both proteins in chloroplasts has been shown to be mediated via an N-terminal transit peptide. At the gene level,
