Simple sequence repeat insertion induced stability and potential 'gain of function' in the proteins of extremophilic bacteria.

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
Here, we analysed the genomic evolution in extremophilic bacteria using long simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Frequencies of occurrence, relative abundance (RA) and relative density (RD) of long SSRs were analysed in the genomes of extremophilic bacteria. Thermus aquaticus had the most RA and RD of long SSRs in its coding sequences (110.6 and 1408.3), followed by Rhodoferax antarcticus (77.0 and 1187.4). A positive correlation was observed between G + C content and the RA-RD of long SSRs. Geobacillus kaustophilus, Geobacillus thermoleovorans, Halothermothrix orenii, R. antarcticus, and T. aquaticus preferred trinucleotide repeats within their genomes, whereas others preferred a higher number of tetranucleotide repeats. Gene enrichment showed the presence of these long SSRs in metabolic enzyme encoding genes related to stress tolerance. To analyse the functional implications of SSR insertions, three-dimensional protein structure modelling of SSR containing diguanylate cyclase (DGC) gene encoding protein was carried out. Removal of SSR sequence led to an inappropriate folding and instability of the modelled protein structure.
