Evidence for Strand Asymmetry in Different Plastid Genomes.
Article in Genes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A common genome composition pattern in eubacteria is an asymmetry between the leading and lagging strands resulting in opposite skew patterns in the two replichores that lie between the origin and terminus of replication. Although this pattern has been reported for a couple of isolated plastid genomes, it is not clear how widespread it is overall in this chromosome. Using a random walk approach, we examine plastid genomes outside of the land plants, which are excluded since they are known not to initiate replication at a single site, for such a pattern of asymmetry. Although it is not a common feature, we find that it is detectable in the plastid genome of species from several diverse lineages. The euglenozoa in particular show a strong skew pattern as do several rhodophytes. There is a weaker pattern in some chlorophytes but it is not apparent in other lineages. The ramifications of this for analyses of plastid evolution are discussed.
