The two RNA polymerases encoded by the nuclear and the plastid compartments transcribe distinct groups of genes in tobacco plastids.

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 plastid genome in photosynthetic higher plants encodes subunits of an Escherichia coli-like RNA polymerase (PEP) which initiates transcription from E.coli sigma70-type promoters. We have previously established the existence of a second nuclear-encoded plastid RNA polymerase (NEP) in photosynthetic higher plants. We report here that many plastid genes and operons have at least one promoter each for PEP and NEP (Class II transcription unit). However, a subset of plastid genes, including photosystem I and II genes, are transcribed from PEP promoters only (Class I genes), while in some instances (e.g. accD) genes are transcribed exclusively by NEP (Class III genes). Sequence alignment identified a 10 nucleotide NEP promoter consensus around the transcription initiation site. Distinct NEP and PEP promoters reported here provide a general mechanism for group-specific gene expression through recognition by the two RNA polymerases.
