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

Higher plants synthesize small heat-shock proteins (smHSPs) from five related gene families. The class I and II families encode cytosolic smHSPs. We characterized the class II smHSPs of pea (Pisum sativum) and compared them with class I smHSPs. Antibodies against recombinant HSP17.7, a class II smHSP, recognized four heat-inducible 17- to 18-kD polypeptides and did not cross-react with class I smHSPs. On sucrose gradients the class II smHSPs sedimented primarily at 8 Svedberg units, indicating that they are components of large complexes similar in size to class I smHSP complexes. However, the class I and II complexes were readily distinguishable by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Nondenaturing immune precipitations using anti-HSP17.7 or anti-HSP18.1 (a class I smHSP) antiserum provide further evidence that the class I and II smHSPs exist in different complexes, composed primarily of smHSPs. Recombinant HSP17.7 and HSP18.1 formed complexes of sizes similar to those formed in vivo. When these two smHSPs were mixed, denatured with urea, and then dialyzed, the distinct class I and II complexes again formed, each containing only HSP18.1 or HSP17.7. Thus, cytosolic smHSPs from two related gene families expressed simultaneously form distinct complexes in vivo, suggesting that they have subtly different functions.
