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

The human endogenous retrovirus (HERV-H) family is most abundant and widely distributed in the human genome, with about 100-1,000 full-length or deleted elements and a similar number of solitary, long-terminal repeats. The HERV-H env ORF has been characterized in humans and in the course of primate evolution, indicating the increased possibility of biological roles in humans. Using the polymerase chain reaction approach with a human monochromosomal DNA panel, 70 env fragments belonging to the HERV-H family from chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, X, and Y were identified and analyzed. They showed 82-99% sequence similarity to that of HERV-H (accession no. AF108843). We also identified other HERV-H env fragments in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases. The total of 120 fragments was evolutionarily analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the HERV-H env family is divided into one major and two minor groups. The HERV-H members have been actively proliferated and evolved by intra-chromosomal spread during hominid radiation.
