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

Membrane-less organelles, formed by the condensation of biomolecules, play a pivotal role in eukaryotes. Artificial membrane-less organelles and condensates are effective tools for the creation of new cellular functions. However, it is poorly understood how to control the properties that affect condensate function, particularly in plants. Here, we report the construction of model artificial condensates using the condensation-prone proteins OsJAZ2 and AtFCA in a transient assay using rice (Oryza sativa) cells, and how condensate properties, such as subcellular localization, protein mobility, and size can be altered. We showed that proteins of interest can be recruited to condensates using nanobodies or chemically induced dimerization. Furthermore, by combining two types of condensation-prone proteins, we demonstrated that artificial hybrid condensates with heterogeneous material properties could be constructed. Finally, we showed that modified artificial condensates can be constructed in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants. These results provide a framework for the basic design of synthetic membrane-less organelles in plants.
