Co-transcription pattern of an introgressed operon in the maize chloroplast genome comprising four ATP synthase subunit genes and the ribosomal rps2.
Article in Plant molecular biology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Several examples of the introduction of a gene from one gene complex into another (introgression) are found when chloroplast RP gene clusters are compared to those in Escherichia coli or cyanobacteria. Here we describe the transcript pattern of one such cluster from maize (Zea mays) that includes the genes for 4 subunits of the thylakoid ATP synthase (atpI, H, F, A) and the rps2 gene. Twelve transcript species covering the size range from 7,000 to 800 nt were identified in RNA isolated from dark-grown and greening maize seedlings, and several of them were characterized by reverse transcription analysis. A major species of 6,200 nt, with its 5' end at 181 nt upstream of the initiating ATG of rps2, contained the transcripts of all the 5 genes. Two further sets of transcripts having their 5' ends ca. 120 and 50 nt upstream of the initiation codons of the atpI and atpH genes were also identified. Thus, this plastid gene cluster in maize is functionally organized as an operon with additional regulatory features to allow for increased accumulation of mRNAs for the thylakoid components.
