Coevolution of the telomeric retrotransposons across Drosophila species.
Article in Genetics, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
As in other eukaryotes, telomeres in Drosophila melanogaster are composed of long arrays of repeated DNA sequences. Remarkably, in D. melanogaster these repeats are produced, not by telomerase, but by successive transpositions of two telomere-specific retrotransposons, HeT-A and TART. These are the only transposable elements known to be completely dedicated to a role in chromosomes, a finding that provides an opportunity for investigating questions about the evolution of telomeres, telomerase, and the transposable elements themselves. Recent studies of D. yakuba revealed the presence of HeT-A elements with precisely the same unusual characteristics as HeT-A(mel) although they had only 55% nucleotide sequence identity. We now report that the second element, TART, is also a telomere component in D. yakuba; thus, these two elements have been evolving together since before the separation of the melanogaster and yakuba species complexes. Like HeT-A(yak), TART(yak) is undergoing concerted sequence evolution, yet they retain the unusual features TART(mel) shares with HeT-A(mel). There are at least two subfamilies of TART(yak) with significantly different sequence and expression. Surprisingly, one subfamily of TART(yak) has >95% sequence identity with a subfamily of TART(mel) and shows similar transcription patterns. As in D. melanogaster, other retrotransposons are excluded from the D. yakuba terminal arrays studied to date.
