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

In this study we tested the performance of chimeraplasts, chimeric RNA/DNA oligonucleotides, for the creation of directed changes in chromosomal sequences in tobacco and oilseed rape. As target genes for chimeraplasty, the endogenous als gene and two transgenes, bar and a fusion between egfp and bar, were used. In experiments in which similar numbers of cells were treated with and without chimeraplasts, delivery of chimeraplasts did not lead to increased numbers of herbicide-resistant or egfp fluorescent calli. Sequence analysis of the target genes revealed a range of sequence changes rather than the sequence modification intended through chimeraplast design. Importantly, in both the presence and absence of chimeraplasts, similar types of changes were obtained at similar frequencies. These data suggest that the observed changes at the target codon result primarily from spontaneous mutation.
