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

Two copies of scooter, a DNA-mediated transposon in the basidiomycetous fungus Schizophyllum commune, were characterized. Scooter is the first transposon isolated from S. commune. Scooter creates 8-bp target site duplications, comparable to members of the hAT superfamily, and has 32-bp terminal inverted repeats. Both copies of scooter are nonautonomous elements capable of movement. Southern blot hybridizations show that scooter-related sequences are present in all S. commune strains tested. Scooter-1 was identified initially as an insertion in the Bbeta2 pheromone receptor gene, bbr2, leading to a partial defect in mating. Scooter-2 spontaneously disrupted a gene to produce the frequently occurring morphological mutant phenotype known as thin. The scooter-2 insert permitted cloning of the disrupted gene, thn1, which encodes a putative regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) protein. Spontaneous insertion of scooter into genes with identifiable mutant phenotypes constitutes the first evidence of active transposition of a DNA-mediated transposon in a basidiomycete.
