Complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena thermophila and comparative methods for identifying highly divergent genes.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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 complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena thermophila has been determined and compared with the mitochondrial genome of Tetrahymena pyriformis. The sequence similarity clearly indicates homology of the entire T.thermophila and T.pyriformis mitochondrial genomes. The T.thermophila genome is very compact, most of the intergenic regions are short (only three are longer than 63 bp) and comprise only 3.8% of the genome. The nad9 gene is tandemly duplicated in T.thermophila. Long terminal inverted repeats and the nad9 genes are undergoing concerted evolution. There are 55 putative genes: three ribosomal RNA genes, eight transfer RNA genes, 22 proteins with putatively assigned functions and 22 additional open reading frames of unknown function. In order to extend indications of homology beyond amino acid sequence similarity we have examined a number of physico-chemical properties of the mitochondrial proteins, including theoretical pI, molecular weight and particularly the predicted transmembrane spanning regions. This approach has allowed us to identify homologs to ymf58 (nad4L), ymf62 (nad6) and ymf60 (rpl6).
