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 number of mRNAs in plant mitochondria contain inverted repeats at their 3'-termini. These have been discussed as potential transcription terminators or, alternatively, as post-transcriptional processing and stability signals of longer precursor RNAs. In vitro transcription in a pea mitochondrial lysate now shows that transcription proceeds almost unimpeded through these inverted repeat structures. To investigate their potential function in mRNA processing, we developed an in vitro processing system from pea mitochondria. This in vitro system correctly processes synthetic precursor mRNAs containing the pea atp9 double stem-loop structure, yielding the same 3'-termini observed in vivo. Analysis of the in vitro-generated products and of the processivity of the reaction suggests exonucleolytic degradation up to the stem-loop. The inverted repeat structures found at the 3'-termini of mRNAs in plant mitochondria are thus recognized as processing and most likely also stabilizing signals in transcript maturation, but do not terminate transcription.
