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 our studies to analyze the structure/function relationships among cytoplasmic and organellar seryl-tRNA synthetases (SerRS), we have characterized a Zea mays cDNA (SerZMm) encoding a protein with significant similarity to prokaryotic SerRS enzymes. To demonstrate the functional identity of SerZMm, the gene sequence encoding the putative mature protein was cloned. This construct complemented in vivo a temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli serS mutant strain. The mature SerZMm protein overexpressed in Escherichia coli efficiently aminoacylated bacterial tRNA(Ser) in vitro, while yeast tRNA was a poor substrate. These data identify SerZMm as an organellar maize seryl-tRNA synthetase, the first plant organellar SerRS to be cloned. The analysis of its N-terminal targeting signal suggests a mitochondrial function for the SerZMm protein in maize.
