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

LINE-1 (L1) elements play an important creative role in genomic evolution by distributing both L1 and non-L1 DNA in a process called retrotransposition. A large percentage of the human genome consists of DNA that has been dispersed by the L1 transposition machinery. L1 elements are not randomly distributed in genomic DNA but are concentrated in regions with lower GC content. In an effort to understand the consequences of L1 insertions, we have begun an investigation of their genomic characteristics and the changes that occur to them over time. We compare human L1 insertions that were created either during recent human evolution or during the primate radiation. We report that L1 insertions are an important source for the creation of new microsatellites. We provide evidence that L1 first strand cDNA synthesis can occur from an internal priming event. We note that in contrast to older L1 insertions, recent L1s are distributed randomly in genomic DNA, and the shift in the L1 genomic distribution occurs relatively rapidly. Taken together, our data indicate that strong forces act on newly inserted L1 retrotransposons to alter their structure and distribution.
