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

Plastids (chloroplasts) of higher plants exhibit two types of conversional RNA editing: cytidine-to-uridine editing in mRNAs and adenosine-to-inosine editing in at least one plastid genome-encoded tRNA, the tRNA-Arg(ACG). The enzymes catalyzing RNA editing reactions in plastids are unknown. Here we report the identification of the A-to-I tRNA editing enzyme from chloroplasts of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The protein (AtTadA) has an unusual structure in that it harbors a large N-terminal domain of >1000 amino acids, which is not required for catalytic activity. The C-terminal region of the protein displays sequence similarity to tadA, the tRNA adenosine deaminase from Escherichia coli. We show that AtTadA is imported into chloroplasts in vivo and demonstrate that the in vitro translated protein triggers A-to-I editing in the anticodon of the plastid tRNA-Arg(ACG). Suppression of AtTadA gene expression in transgenic Arabidopsis plants by RNAi results in reduced A-to-I editing in the chloroplast tRNA-Arg(ACG). The RNAi lines display a mild growth phenotype, presumably due to reduced chloroplast translational efficiency upon limited availability of edited tRNA-Arg(ACG).
