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

In the present study, we applied our 'precise annotation' to the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of human, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque and mouse using 5' and 3' end small RNAs. Our new annotations updated previous annotations. In particular, our new annotations led to two important novel findings: (1) the identification of five Conserved Sequence Blocks (CSB1, CSB2, CSB3, LSP and HSP) in the control regions; and (2) the annotation of Transcription Initiation and novel Transcription Termination Sites. Based on these annotations, we proposed a novel model of mt transcription which can account for the mt transcription and its regulation in mammals. According to our model, Transcription Termination Sites function as switches to regulate the production of short, long primary transcripts and uninterrupted transcription, rather than simply terminate the mt transcription. Moreover, the expression levels of mitochondrial transcription termination factors control the proportions of rRNAs, mRNAs and lncRNAs in total mt RNA. Our findings point to the existence of many other, as yet unidentified, Transcription Termination Sites in mammals.
