Internal editing of the maize chloroplast ndhA transcript restores codons for conserved amino acids.

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 NADH dehydrogenase subunit A (ndhA) gene from maize chloroplasts encodes a highly conserved peptide, which at several positions could be restored to consensus sequences by potential C-to-U editing of the codons involved. This gene was, therefore, chosen for analysis of its mRNA sequence in the form of amplified cDNA. A comparison of this cDNA sequence with the plastome-encoded ndhA sequence reveals four C-to-U editing sites, thereby demonstrating as a novel finding that chloroplast editing can also affect internal mRNA positions. All the edited codons restore amino acids that are conserved in the ndhA-encoded peptides of other chloroplast species. Alignment with homologous mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone reductase subunit 1 (nad1) sequences of plant and even nonplant species shows that two of the editing positions restore universally conserved amino acids and that one editing site is even shared with nad1 mRNA of plant mitochondria. No editing sites could be detected in the cDNA derived from transcripts of the maize chloroplast RNA polymerase alpha-subunit (rpoA) gene.
