Mutator-like elements in Arabidopsis thaliana. Structure, diversity and evolution.

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.
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
While genome-wide surveys of abundance and diversity of mobile elements have been conducted for some class I transposable element families, little is known about the nature of class II transposable elements on this scale. In this report, we present the results from analysis of the sequence and structural diversity of Mutator-like elements (MULEs) in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia). Sequence similarity searches and subsequent characterization suggest that MULEs exhibit extreme structure, sequence, and size heterogeneity. Multiple alignments at the nucleotide and amino acid levels reveal conserved, potentially transposition-related sequence motifs. While many MULEs share common structural features to Mu elements in maize, some groups lack characteristic long terminal inverted repeats. High sequence similarity and phylogenetic analyses based on nucleotide sequence alignments indicate that many of these elements with diverse structural features may remain transpositionally competent and that multiple MULE lineages may have been evolving independently over long time scales. Finally, there is evidence that MULEs are capable of the acquisition of host DNA segments, which may have implications for adaptive evolution, both at the element and host levels.
