An Ac-like transposable element family with transcriptionally active Y-linked copies in the white campion, Silene latifolia.
Article in Genetics, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
An RFLP genomic subtraction was used to isolate male-specific sequences in the species Silene latifolia. One isolated fragment, SLP2, shares similarity to a portion of the Activator (Ac) transposase from Zea mays and to related proteins from other plant species. Southern blot analysis of male and female S. latifolia genomic DNA shows that SLP2 belongs to a low-copy-number repeat family with two Y-linked copies. Screening of a S. latifolia male genomic library using SLP2 as a probe led to the isolation of five clones, which were partially sequenced. One clone contains two large open reading frames that can be joined into a sequence encoding a putative protein of 682 amino acids by removing a short intron. Database searches and phylogenetic analysis show that this protein belongs to the hAT superfamily of transposases, closest to Tag2 (Arabidopsis thaliana), and contains all of the defined domains critical for the activity of these transposases. PCR with genomic and cDNA templates from S. latifolia male, female, and hermaphrodite individuals revealed that one of the Y-linked copies is transcriptionally active and alternatively spliced. This is the first report of a transcriptionally active transposable element (TE) family in S. latifolia and the first DNA transposon residing on a plant Y chromosome. The potential activity and regulation of this TE family and its use for Y chromosome gene discovery is discussed.
