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

The region of the plastid genome containing the genes for ribosomal proteins S12 and S7 and the elongation factor Tu (corresponding to three of the four str operon genes of Escherichia coli) was investigated in the unicellular marine alga Cryptomonas. Sequence analysis shows the gene organization to be rps12-60 bp spacer-rps7-68 bp spacer-tufA. No introns are present in any of the genes. Comparisons of the deduced amino acid sequence of these genes with homologues from other organisms show rps12 to be very highly conserved, except at the amino terminus, and rps7 and tufA to be less well-conserved. Transcript analysis suggests that these genes are co-transcribed along with several up and/or down-stream genes. The evolutionary significance of this unique gene organization is discussed.
