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

Codon usage in mitochondrial genome of the six different plants was analyzed to find general patterns of codon usage in plant mitochondrial genomes. The neutrality analysis indicated that the codon usage patterns of mitochondrial genes were more conserved in GC content and no correlation between GC12 and GC3. T and A ending codons were detected as the preferred codons in plant mitochondrial genomes. The Parity Rule 2 plot analysis showed that T was used more frequently than A. The EN(C)-plot showed that although a majority of the points with low EN(C) values were lying below the expected curve, a few genes lied on the expected curve. Correspondence analysis of relative synonymous codon usage yielded a first axis that explained only a partial amount of variation of codon usage. These findings suggest that natural selection is likely to be playing a large role in codon usage bias in plant mitochondrial genomes, but not only natural selection but also other several factors are likely to be involved in determining the selective constraints on codon bias in plant mitochondrial genomes. Meantime, 1 codon (P. patens), 6 codons (Z. mays), 9 codons (T. aestivum), 15 codons (A. thaliana), 15 codons (M. polymorpha) and 15 codons (N. tabacum) were defined as the preferred codons of the six plant mitochondrial genomes.
