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

Cytokinesis in a plant cell is accomplished by the formation of a cell plate in the center of the phragmoplast. Little is known of the molecular events associated with this process. In this study, we report the identification of a dynamin-like protein from soybean and demonstrate that this protein is associated with the formation of the cell plate. Plant dynamin-like (PDL) protein contains 610 amino acids showing high homology with other members of the dynamin protein family. Western blot experiments demonstrated that it is associated with the non-ionic detergent-resistant fraction of membranes. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy localized PDL to the cell plate in dividing soybean root tip cells. Double labeling experiments demonstrated that, unlike phragmoplast microtubules which are concentrated on the periphery of the forming plate, PDL is located across the whole width of the newly formed cell plate. Based on the temporal and spatial organization of PDL in the phragmoplast, we termed this protein 'phragmoplastin'. The data suggest that phragmoplastin may be associated with exocytic vesicles that are depositing cell plate material during cytokinesis in the plant cell.
