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

We characterized the peach latent mosaic viroid (PLMVd) replication intermediates that accumulate in infected peach leaves and determined the tissue and subcellular localization of the RNA species. Using in situ hybridization, we showed that PLMVd strands of both plus and minus polarities concentrate in the cells forming the palisade parenchyma. At the cellular level, PLMVd was found to accumulate predominantly in chloroplasts. Northern blot analyses demonstrated that PLMVd replicates via a symmetric mode involving the accumulation of both circular and linear monomeric strands of both polarities. No multimeric conformer was detected, indicating that both strands self-cleave efficiently via their hammerhead sequences. Dot blot hybridizations revealed that PLMVd strands of both polarities accumulate equally but that the relative concentrations vary by more than 50-fold between peach cultivars. Taken together these results establish two hallmarks for the classification of viroids. Group A viroids (e.g., PLMVd), which possess hammerhead structures, replicate in the chloroplasts via the symmetric mode. By contrast, group B viroids, which share a conserved central region, replicate in the nucleus via an asymmetric mechanism. This is an important difference between self-cleaving and non-self-cleaving viroids, and the implications for the evolutionary origin and replication are discussed.
