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

Due to a high evolutionary turnover many satellite DNAs are restricted to a group of closely related species. Here we demonstrate that the satellite DNA family PSUB, abundant in the beetle Palorus subdepressus, is distributed in a low number of copies among diverse taxa of Coleoptera (Insecta), some of them separated for an evolutionary period of up to 60 Myr. Comparison of PSUB cloned from the species Tribolium brevicornis with the PSUB family previously characterized in Palorus subdepressus revealed high sequence conservation and absence of fixed species-specific mutations. The most polymorphic sites are those with ancestral mutations shared among clones of both species. Since the ancestral mutations contribute significantly to overall diversity, it could be proposed that a similar mutational profile already existed in an ancestral species. The pattern of variability along the satellite monomer is characterized by the presence of conserved and variable regions. The nonrandom pattern of variability as well as the absence of sequence divergence is also discerned for PRAT satellite DNA, cloned previously from two Palorus species and a distantly related Pimelia elevata. Since PRAT and PSUB are present in parallel in diverse taxa of Coleoptera, we propose that their long evolutionary preservation suggests a possible functional significance. This indication is additionally supported not only by the high evolutionary conservation of the sequences, but also by the presence of significantly conserved and variable regions along the monomers.
