Variable Patterns of Transposition of the Maize Element Activator in Tobacco.
Article in The Plant cell, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 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
The strategy to be followed in a transposon tagging experiment will be determined largely by the transposition pattern of the transposon in question. With a view to utilizing the maize element Activator (Ac) as a transposon tag in heterologous systems, we investigated the pattern of Ac transposition from six different loci in transgenic tobacco. We isolated germinal revertants from plants carrying mutable alleles of the antibiotic-resistant gene streptomycin phosphotransferase (SPT) and mapped the location of the transposed Ac (trAc) elements relative to the donor SPT gene. A comparison of the distributions of trAcs among the six loci revealed that, although the receptor sites for trAcs tend to be linked to the donor locus, the pattern of Ac transposition in tobacco displays surprising locus-to-locus variation. Some trAc distributions showed the same tight clustering around the donor locus previously seen in maize, whereas others were more dispersed. The possible meaning of these findings and their implication for transposon tagging in heterologous systems are discussed.
