MAX, a novel retrotransposon of the BEL-Pao family, is nested within the Bari1 cluster at the heterochromatic h39 region of chromosome 2 in Drosophila melanogaster.
Article in Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A homogeneous array of 80 tandem repeats of the Bari1 transposon is located in the pericentromeric h39 region of chromosome 2 of Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we report that the Bari1 cluster is interrupted by an 8556-bp insertion. DNA sequencing and database searches identified this insertion as a previously unannotated retrotransposon that we have named MAX. MAX possesses two ORFs; ORF1 putatively encodes a polyprotein comprising GAG and RT domains, while ORF2 could encode a 288-amino acid protein of unknown function. Alignment with the RT domains of known LTR retrotransposons shows that MAX belongs to the BEL-Pao family, which remarkable for its widespread presence in different taxa, including lower chordates. We have analyzed the distribution of MAX elements within representative species of the Sophophora subgroup and found that they are restricted to the species of the melanogaster complex, where they are heavily represented in the heterochromatin of all autosomes and on the Y chromosome.
