Mitochondrial DNA transfer to the nucleus generates extensive insertion site variation in maize.

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
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) insertions into nuclear chromosomes have been documented in a number of eukaryotes. We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to examine the variation of mtDNA insertions in maize. Twenty overlapping cosmids, representing the 570-kb maize mitochondrial genome, were individually labeled and hybridized to root tip metaphase chromosomes from the B73 inbred line. A minimum of 15 mtDNA insertion sites on nine chromosomes were detectable using this method. One site near the centromere on chromosome arm 9L was identified by a majority of the cosmids. To examine variation in nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs), a mixture of labeled cosmids was applied to chromosome spreads of ten diverse inbred lines: A188, A632, B37, B73, BMS, KYS, Mo17, Oh43, W22, and W23. The number of detectable NUMTs varied dramatically among the lines. None of the tested inbred lines other than B73 showed the strong hybridization signal on 9L, suggesting that there is a recent mtDNA insertion at this site in B73. Different sources of B73 and W23 were examined for NUMT variation within inbred lines. Differences were detectable, suggesting either that mtDNA is being incorporated or lost from the maize nuclear genome continuously. The results indicate that mtDNA insertions represent a major source of nuclear chromosomal variation.
