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 full-length cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (cox1) containing a group I intron was isolated from an important medical fungus Cordyceps militaris (Cordycipitaceae). The open reading frame (ORF) of 1,593 nucleotides encoded a predicted protein COX1 of 530 amino acids. The group I intron encoded a putative homing endonuclease (HE) with two LAGLIDADG motifs. RT-PCR and Northern analysis showed a mature transcript of spliced cox1. Both 5'exon-intron and intron-3'exon junctions were also found by RT-PCR, suggesting the possible presence of unspliced cox1 RNA in total RNA. Sequence comparison by BLASTn showed that the coding region of cox1 (CRcox1) of C. militaris had significant similarities to those of related species (such as Cordyceps bassiana and C. brongniartii), while the intron had no significant homologous sequences of Cordycipitaceae fungi in NCBI database. The phylogenetic tree based on the CRcox1 confirmed the present taxonomic status of related species, but the cox1 introns were phylogenetically distinct. Compared to C. bassiana and C. brongniartii, the cox1 intron of C. militaris exhibited specific splicing site and different intronic ORF. The analysis of the folding RNA structures of the known cox1 introns from Cordyceps species showed different base pairs and conserved regions (P1-P10) in their structures. The present results provide useful information on the studies of cox1 intron splicing and Cordyceps evolution.
