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

Radial spokes, RS1, RS2, and RS3, are T-shaped, multiprotein complexes that transmit regulatory signals from the central apparatus to outer doublet complexes, including dynein arms. Radial spokes, especially RS3, differ in their morphology, protein composition, and RS base-docked IDAs. Spokes' defects alter cilia beating frequency, waveform, and amplitude, leading, in humans, to primary ciliary dyskinesia and male infertility. The role of the particular spokes remains unclear. Ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila has three RSP3 paralogs and two or three paralogs of some other RSPs. Using multiple complementary approaches, we demonstrated that Tetrahymena forms RS1 and RS2 subtypes, each with a core composed of various RSP3 paralogs and one type of RSP3-less RS3. We elucidated proteomes of RS1 and RS2 subtypes, RS3, and identified novel RS proteins, including enzymatic proteins involved in local regulation of ADP/ATP levels, the guanylate nucleotide pathway, and protein phosphorylation, whose presence further diversifies RSs' properties and likely functions.
