Tandem termination signal in plant mRNAs.
Article in Gene, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
It was proposed that if some mRNA characteristics resulted in a low efficiency of termination signal, an additional closely located stop codon (tandem stop codons) could be used to prevent the harmful readthrough. However, the role of tandem terminators in higher eukaryotes was not verified and remains hypothetical. In this work the sequence features of Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa mRNAs were analyzed. It was found that plant mRNAs with UGA terminator were characterized by a higher frequency of nonsense codons in the first triplet position of 3'-UTR that could result from a weak natural selection for "reserve" stop signal. Interestingly, the presence of tandem stop codons positively correlated with a specific amino acid composition in the C-terminal position of the encoded proteins. In particular, C-terminal glycine positively correlated with significantly higher frequencies of reserve terminators at the beginning positions of 3'-UTR in UGA-containing mRNAs. This finding coincides with some earlier observations concerning the role of glycine and its codons in inefficient termination of translation and recoding (e.g., 2A oligopeptide).
