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

RNA editing is an RNA maturation process that changes the nucleotide present at particular positions (editing sites) in specific RNAs; in plant organelles, the most common nucleotide change is from cytidine (C) to uridine (U). In a mutant suspected of affecting RNA editing, all known editing sites have to be analyzed. Therefore, to screen a population of mutants, all individuals must be analyzed at every editing site. We describe a multiplex single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-typing procedure to economically screen a mutant individual or population for differences at hundreds of nucleotide positions in RNA or DNA. By using this protocol, we have previously identified mutants defective in RNA editing in a randomly mutated population of Arabidopsis thaliana. The procedure requires 2-3 weeks to identify the individual plant in the mutant population. The time required to locate the mutated gene is between 3 and 24 months in Arabidopsis. Although this procedure has been developed to study RNA editing in plants, it could also be used to investigate other RNA modification processes. It could also be adapted to investigate RNA editing in other organisms.
