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

Mutations and subsequent repair processes are known to be strongly context-dependent in the flowering-plant chloroplast genome. At least six flanking bases, three on each side, can have an influence on the relative rates of different types of mutation at any given site. In this analysis, examine context and substitution at noncoding and fourfold degenerate coding sites in gymnosperm DNA. The sequences are analyzed in sets of three, allowing the inference of the substitution direction and the generation of context-dependent rate matrices. The size of the dataset limits the analysis to the tetranucleotide context of the sites, but the evidence shows that there are significant contextual effects, with patterns that are similar to those observed in angiosperms. These effects most likely represent an influence on the underlying mutation/repair dynamics. The data extend the plastome lineages that feature very complex patterns of mutation, which can have significant effects on the evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome.
