Intercellular mobility and homing of an archaeal rDNA intron confers a selective advantage over intron- cells of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

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
Some intron-containing rRNA genes of archaea encode homing-type endonucleases, which facilitate intron insertion at homologous sites in intron- alleles. These archaeal rRNA genes, in contrast to their eukaryotic counterparts, are present in single copies per cell, which precludes intron homing within one cell. However, given the highly conserved nature of the sequences flanking the intron, homing may occur in intron- rRNA genes of other archaeal cells. To test whether this occurs, the intron-containing 23S rRNA gene of the archaeal hyperthermophile Desulfurococcus mobilis, carried on nonreplicating bacterial vectors, was electroporated into an intron- culture of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. PCR experiments demonstrated that the intron underwent homing and spread through the culture. By using a double drug-resistant mutant of S. acidocaldarius, it was shown that spreading resulted partly from a selective advantage of intron+ cells and partly from intercellular mobility of the intron and homing.
