Striking differences in mitochondrial tRNA import between different plant species.

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
A systematic comparison of the tRNAs imported into the mitochondria of larch, maize and potato reveals considerable differences among the three species. Larch mitochondria import at least eleven different tRNAs (more than half of those tested) corresponding to ten different amino acids. For five of these tRNAs [tRNA(Phe(GAA)), tRNA(Lys(CUU)), tRNA(Pro(UGG)), tRNA(Ser(GCU)) and tRNA(Ser(UGA))] this is the first report of import into mitochondria in any plant species. There are also differences in import between relatively closely related plants; wheat mitochondria, unlike maize mitochondria import tRNA(His), and sunflower mitochondria, unlike mitochondria from other angiosperms tested, import tRNA(Ser(GCU)) and tRNA(Ser(UGA)). These results suggest that the ability to import each tRNA has been acquired independently at different times during the evolution of higher plants, and that there are few apparent restrictions on which tRNAs can or cannot be imported. The implications for the mechanisms of mitochondrial tRNA import in plants are discussed.
