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

Transcripts in mitochondria and chloroplasts of land plants are modified through RNA editing, the exchanges of pyrimidines-a post-transcriptional process that may affect more than 1,000 sites in the mitochondrial transcriptomes of some plant species. RNA editing mainly acts as a correcting mechanism to re-create evolutionary conserved coding sequences on mRNA level and can be reasonably well predicted in new plant organelle gene sequence data. Identification and annotation of RNA editing sites is cumbersome and error-prone for larger data sets or organelle sequences subject to highly frequent RNA editing. We here present PREPACT, WWW-accessible at http://www.prepact.de , which allows prediction, analysis, annotation and graphical display of RNA editing sites for both directions of pyrimidine exchanges, using the recently proposed RNA editing nomenclature. PREPACT offers prediction of RNA editing, analysis of partial editing in cDNA pools and a BLASTX mode for simultaneous prediction of genes and RNA editing sites in novel sequences. Output options include (i) lists and annotations of RNA editing sites, (ii) sequence alignments with user-controlled color highlighting of editings, (iii) graphical displays of RNA editing in sequences and alignments. Finally, binary matrices of editing positions can be produced that may be used for downstream (e.g. phylogenetic) analyses.
