Those two point mutations were separated from each other in DNA sequence of petB, which was important from a genetic point of view for the planned experiments (this separation was one of the reasons for selection of H198N over other mutations in cytochrome b that are also known to inactivate the Qo site but are closer to G158W in sequence).
Inter-coder agreement ranged between 0.82 and 0.88 (see Supplementary data, Table 5 for details on classification numbers of selections of reasons, and Tables 6 and 7 for details on the number of selections per treatment stage and overall).
A list of all reasons for discontinuation presented in each study was made, different categories of reasons were defined and the percentage of selections of each category was calculated.
If these answers were not considered, the proportion of selections of logistical/practical reasons would be 13.31%95%5% CI 9.9 17.62) during first-order treatments and 11.82% (95% 8.92 15.46) overall.
