The replication of plastid minicircles involves rolling circle intermediates.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Plastid genomes of peridinin-containing dinoflagellates are unique in that its genes are found on multiple circular DNA molecules known as 'minicircles' of approximately 2-3 kb in size, carrying from one to three genes. The non-coding regions (NCRs) of these minicircles share a conserved core region (250-500 bp) that are AT-rich and have several inverted or direct repeats. Southern blot analysis using an NCR probe, after resolving a dinoflagellate whole DNA extract in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), revealed additional positive bands (APBs) of 6-8 kb in size. APBs preferentially diminished from cells treated with the DNA-replication inhibitor aphidicolin, when compared with 2-3 kb minicircles, implicating they are not large minicircles. The APBs are also exonuclease III-sensitive, implicating the presence of linear DNA. These properties and the migration pattern of the APBs in a 2D-gel electrophoresis were in agreement with a rolling circle type of replication, rather than the bubble-forming type. Atomic force microscopy of 6-8 kb DNA separated by PFGE revealed DNA intermediates with rolling circle shapes. Accumulating data thus supports the involvement of rolling circle intermediates in the replication of the minicircles.
