The reverse-transcriptase-like proteins encoded by group II introns in the mitochondrial genome of the brown alga Pylaiella littoralis belong to two different lineages which apparently coevolved with the group II ribosyme lineages.

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
The mitochondrial genome of the brown alga Pylaiella littoralis contains two different types of group II introns. They each encode complete complex proteins, i.e., with a reverse transcriptase domain, a maturase or X domain, and an endonuclease or H-N-H/zinc finger domain. To our knowledge, this is the first example of the presence in the same genome of introns belonging to subgroups IIA and IIB which both contain multidomained RT-like proteins. We describe the group IIA introns that interrupt the cox1 gene. The RT-like proteins contained in these introns were compared to those of the LSU rDNA group IIB introns. The phylogenetic relationships of these intron ORFs were investigated and the possible evolution of group II introns is discussed.
