Translation of chloroplast psbD mRNA in Chlamydomonas is controlled by a secondary RNA structure blocking the AUG start codon.

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
Translation initiation represents a key step during regulation of gene expression in chloroplasts. Here, we report on the identification and characterization of three suppressor point mutations which overcome a translational defect caused by the deletion of a U-rich element in the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the psbD mRNA in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. All three suppressors affect a secondary RNA structure encompassing the psbD AUG initiation codon within a double-stranded region as judged by the analysis of site-directed chloroplast mutants as well as in vitro RNA mapping experiments using RNase H. In conclusion, the data suggest that these new element serves as a negative regulator which mediates a rapid shut-down of D2 synthesis.
