A novel chimeric gene, siren, with retroposed promoter sequence in the Drosophila bipectinata complex.
Article in Genetics, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Retrotransposons often produce a copy of host genes by their reverse transcriptase activity operating on host gene transcripts. Since transcripts normally do not contain promoter, a retroposed gene copy usually becomes a retropseudogene. However, in Drosophila bipectinata and a closely related species we found a new chimeric gene, whose promoter was likely produced by retroposition. This chimeric gene, named siren, consists of a tandem duplicate of Adh and a retroposed fragment of CG11779 containing the promoter and a partial intron in addition to the first exon. We found that this unusual structure of a retroposed fragment was obtained by retroposition of nanos, which overlaps with CG11779 on the complementary strand. The potential of retroposition to produce a copy of promoter and intron sequences in the context of gene overlapping was demonstrated.
