Size and Structure of Replicating Mitochondrial DNA in Cultured Tobacco Cells.
Article in The Plant cell, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers.
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.
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
The BY-2 tobacco cell line was used to study the size and structure of replicating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Approximately 70 to 90% of the newly synthesized mtDNA did not migrate during pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Moving pictures of the fluorescently labeled molecules showed that most of the immobile well-bound DNA was in structures larger than the size of the BY-2 mitochondrial genome of ~270 kb. Most of the structures appeared as complex forms with multiple DNA fibers. The sizes of the circular molecules that were also observed ranged continuously from ~20 to 560 kb without prominent size classes. Pulse-chase and mung bean nuclease experiments showed that the well-bound DNA contained single-stranded regions and was converted to linear molecules of between 50 and 150 kb. MtDNA replication in plants may be initiated by recombination events that create branched structures of multigenomic concatemers that are then processed to 50- to 150-kb subgenomic fragments.
