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

As an evolutionary ancient molecule, transfer RNA (tRNA) is ubiquitous across all domains of life as a living fossil. BACKGROUND/

objectivesDespite substantial research on tRNA genes in various kingdoms, a comprehensive analysis of their conservation and the status of tandem duplication events throughout the tree of plant species studied has yet to be conducted.

methodsThe tRNA genes from 50 plant species were identified, and gene length, intron length, and GC content were characterized. Then, identical, tandemly duplicated tRNA genes were analyzed according to the sequence identity and phylogenetic tree.

resultsIn this study, a total of 28,262 tRNA genes were identified across 50 plant species, encompassing eight divisions within the plant kingdom. tRNA gene length ranged from 62 to 98 bp and its abundance was found to have no correlation with genome size. The intron-containing tRNA genes are ubiquitously presented in all 50 plant species studied, and the most abundant were tRNA

conclusionsThe tRNA genes in different plants are highly conserved in terms of gene length, intron length, GC content, and sequence identity, with especially strong evidence for the strong sequence and structural conservation of tRNA genes, and the tandem duplication is an important driving for the tRNA gene evolution across diverse plant species.
