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

We analyzed the structure and replication of the mitochondrial (mt) circular DNA plasmid mp1 (1309 bp) from the higher plant Chenopodium album(L.). Two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) revealed the existence of oligomers of up to a decamer in addition to the prevailing monomeric form. The migration behavior of cut replication intermediates during 2DE was consistent with a rolling circle (RC) type of replication. We detected entirely single-stranded (ss) plasmid copies hybridizing only with one of the two DNA strands. This result indicates the occurence of an asymmetric RC replication mechanism. mp1 has, with respect to its replication, some unique features compared with bacterial RC plasmids. We identified and localized a strand-specific nicking site (origin of RC replication) on the plasmid by primer extension studies. Nicks in the plasmid were found to occur at any one of six nucleotides (TAAG/GG) around position 735 of the leading strand. This sequence shows no homology to origin motifs from known bacterial RC replicons. mp1 is the first described RC plasmid in a higher plant.
