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

RNA editing is unique among post-transcriptional processes in plastids, as it exhibits extraordinary phylogenetic dynamics leading to species-specific editing site patterns. The evolutionary loss of a site is considered to entail the loss of the corresponding nuclear-encoded site-specific factor, which prevents the editing of foreign, i.e. heterologous, sites. We investigated the editing of short 'spliced' and 'unspliced' ndhA gene fragments from spinach in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) in vivo using biolistic transformation. Surprisingly, it turned out that the spinach site is edited in the heterologous nuclear background. Furthermore, only exon-exon fusions were edited, whereas intron-containing messages remained unprocessed. A homologue of the spinach site was found to be present and edited in Nicotiana tomentosiformis, representing the paternal parent, but absent from Nicotiana sylvestris, representing the maternal parent of tobacco. Our data show that: (i) the cis-determinants for ndhA editing are split by an intron; (ii) the editing capacity cannot be deduced from editing sites; and (iii) allopolyploidization can increase the editing capacity, which implies that it can influence speciation processes in evolution.
