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

The physical map of the plasmid genome of the unicellular red alga Cyanidium caldarium strain RK-1 was constructed. The 150-kbp genome was circular and had an inverted repeated region (IR) which contained the genes for 16 s and 23 s ribosomal RNAs, as is usually seen in most plastid genomes. Since C. caldarium is a very "primitive" alga, the results suggest that the ancestral cyanobacteria lost most of its genome as an endosymbiont comparatively early in the process of plastid formation. After that, several genes seem to have been lost from plastid genomes, step by step, during the course of evolution.
