Loss of transfer RNA genes from the plastid 16S-23S ribosomal RNA gene spacer in a parasitic plant.
Article in Current genetics, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 plastid 16S-23S intergenic spacer region in Conopholis americana, a totally heterotrophic angiosperm in the family Orobanchaceae, has undergone large deletions, including the entire tRNA(Ile) gene and all but small remnants of the tRNA(Ala) gene. The length of the region is less than 20% of that of other land plants which have been investigated, making it the smallest 16S-23S intergenic spacer reported thus far for any land plant. The remaining sequences in the spacer are 90.1% identical to tobacco, indicating that, while the region is well conserved at the sequence level, it is evolving rapidly by deletion. Experiments using the polymerase chain reaction and hybridization to DNA gel blots have failed to reveal either of the two missing tRNA genes elsewhere in the Conopholis cell.
