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

To facilitate the analysis of RNA processing in plant mitochondria, a method was established for introducing foreign DNA into mitochondria isolated from maize and sorghum. This method permits the uptake of DNA of up to 11 kb into the mitochondrial matrix. In vitro incubation of maize mitochondria in a specific buffer system was found to permit splicing and editing of newly synthesized RNAs for a period of at least 7 h. This was shown both for transcripts of endogenous mitochondrial genes (atp6, cox2) and for transcripts derived from an introduced Arabidopsis thaliana cox2 gene. In contrast, when a Sorghum bicolor atp6 gene was introduced into isolated maize mitochondria, the gene was transcribed, but the RNA was not edited, although all the editing sites in maize and sorghum atp6 RNA are identical. This may indicate the presence of transcript-specific cis -acting regions in the up- or downstream untranslated sequences of the mRNA. The system described here should allow further dissection of the mechanism of RNA editing in plant mitochondria.
