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 mitochondrial genome of Physarum polycephalum encodes five tRNAs, four of which are edited by nucleotide insertion. Two of these tRNAs, tRNA(met1) and tRNA(met2), contain predicted mismatches at the beginning (proximal end) of the acceptor stem. In addition, the putative 5' end of tRNA(met2) overlaps the 3' end of a small, abundant, noncoding RNA, which we term ppoRNA. These anomalies led us to hypothesize that these two Physarum mitochondrial tRNAs undergo additional editing events. Here, we show that tRNA(met1) and tRNA(met2) each has a nonencoded G at its 5' end. In contrast to the other nucleotides that are added to Physarum mitochondrial RNAs, these extra G residues are likely added post-transcriptionally based on (1) the absence of added G in precursor transcripts containing inserted C and AA residues, (2) the presence of potential intermediates characteristic of 5' replacement editing, and (3) preferential incorporation of GTP into tRNA molecules under conditions that do not support transcription. This is the first report of both post-transcriptional nucleotide insertions and the addition of single Gs in P. polycephalum mitochondrial transcripts. We postulate that tRNA(met1) and tRNA(met2) are acted upon by an activity similar to that present in the mitochondria of certain other amoebozoons and chytrid fungi, suggesting that enzymes that repair the 5' end of tRNAs may be widespread.
