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

backgroundPlastid RNA editing is widespread in angiosperms yet remains underexplored in the medicinal non-model species

methodsLeaf tissue was used from three wild-sampled individual plants. Plastomes were assembled with GetOrganelle v1.7.0 and annotated using PGA. Strand-specific RNA-seq libraries were mapped to sample-matched plastomes using HISAT2 v2.2.1. Variants were identified using REDItools v2.0 under uniform thresholds. Candidate sites were visually verified in IGV v2.12.3, and read origins were confirmed by BLAST v2.13.0+; artifacts were removed via strand-specific filtering.

resultsAfter stringent filtering, 38 high-confidence RNA editing sites were identified across 19 genes. Total RNA seq performed the best, detecting 37/38 sites consistently, whereas rRNA-depleted libraries detected fewer genuine sites and produced numerous rRNA-linked, noncanonical, noncoding-strand-dominant artifacts. Despite very low rates of plastid mapping, mRNA seq recovered a large fraction of bona fide sites under stringent, strand-aware filtering.

conclusionsWe establish a set of 38 high-confidence plastid RNA editing sites in
