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

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is the most prevalent type of RNA editing in animals, and it occurs in fungi specifically during sexual reproduction. However, it is debatable whether A-to-I RNA editing is adaptive. Deciphering the functional importance of individual editing sites is essential for the mechanistic understanding of the adaptive advantages of RNA editing. Here, by performing gene deletion for 17 genes with conserved missense editing (CME) sites and engineering underedited (ue) and overedited (oe) mutants for 10 CME sites using site-specific mutagenesis at the native locus in
