Transposition of reversed Ac element ends generates chromosome rearrangements in maize.
Article in Genetics, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
In classical "cut-and-paste" transposition, transposons are excised from donor sites and inserted at new locations. We have identified an alternative pathway in which transposition involves the 5' end of an intact Ac element and the 3' end of a nearby terminally deleted fAc (fractured Ac). The Ac and fAc elements are inserted at the maize p1 locus on chromosome 1s in the same orientation; the adjacent ends of the separate elements are thus in reversed orientation with respect to each other and are separated by a distance of approximately 13 kb. Transposition involving the two ends in reversed orientation generates inversions, deletions, and a novel type of local rearrangement. The rearrangement breakpoints are bounded by the characteristic footprint or target site duplications typical of Ac transposition reactions. These results demonstrate a new intramolecular transposition mechanism by which transposons can greatly impact genome evolution.
