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

In green lineages, chloroplast protein import is mediated by conserved TOC and TIC translocons at the outer and inner envelope membranes, respectively. A recent structural study on TIC from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii revealed an additionally associated YGGT family membrane protein YlmG. Its homolog in Arabidopsis thaliana, YlmG1, is essential but was reported to be a thylakoid-localized membrane protein involved in nucleoid distribution. Thus, it remains unclear whether YlmG1 participates in chloroplast protein import. Here, we show that YlmG1 is exclusively localized to the chloroplast envelope membrane where it behaves like a monomer. However, while YlmG1 is not firmly associated with TIC, it is recruited to the preprotein-translocation intermediate complex together with other TIC components, suggesting it has an important role in chloroplast protein import.
