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

This study characterizes a translin-like protein from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular alga. The efficient binding of the Crtranslin protein to both single-stranded DNA and RNA aligns it with the nucleic acid-binding properties of the translin protein family, known for its roles in DNA repair, RNA metabolism, and mRNA transport. We report for the first time the presence of a translin-like protein that forms octameric rings, is more closely related to rice translin, and is localized to an organelle not yet known to harbor such a family of proteins, viz., in the basal body and flagella of C. reinhardtii. This study lays the groundwork for future investigations into the molecular functions of Crtranslin and its potential regulatory roles in flagellar dynamics. Impact statement This is the first report of the presence of a nucleic acid-binding protein, Translin, in the basal body and cilia.
