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

Organelle genomes govern bioenergetics and stress responses, yet bulk sequencing masks heterogeneity. We establish single-organelle DNA-sequencing by adapting a droplet-based workflow to mitochondria and chloroplasts, using a sorbitol-based isolation that preserves organelles for encapsulation, amplification, and sorting. In Arabidopsis thaliana leaves, 313 of 384 single-organelle amplified genome libraries passed quality control (261 mitochondrial, 52 chloroplast). Genome coverage breadth at 1000 × sequencing depth showed medians of 59.5% and 84.5%, with maxima of 97.2% and 100%. Read-depth profiles were more fragmented for mitochondria and more uniform for chloroplasts, consistent with mitochondrial heterogeneity. This workflow enables analyses of recombination, rearrangements, and heteroplasmy.
