hATpin, a family of MITE-like hAT mobile elements conserved in diverse plant species that forms highly stable secondary structures.
Article in Plant molecular biology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
We identified a 178 bp mobile DNA element in lettuce with characteristic CGAGC/GCTCG repeats in the subterminal regions. This element has terminal inverted repeats and 8-bp target site duplications typical of the hAT superfamily of class II mobile elements, but its small size and potential to form a single-stranded stable hairpin-like secondary structure suggest that it is related to MITE elements. In silico searches for related elements identified 252 plant sequences with 8-bp target site duplications and sequence similarity in their terminal and subterminal regions. Some of these sequences were predicted to encode transposases and may be autonomous elements; these constituted a separate clade within the phylogram of hAT transposases. We demonstrate that the CGAGC/GCTCG pentamer maximizes the hairpin stability compared to any other pentamer with the same C + G content, and the secondary structures of these elements are more stable than for most MITEs. We named these elements collectively as hATpin elements because of the hAT similarity and their hairpin structures. The nearly complete rice genome sequence and the highly advanced genome annotation allowed us to localize most rice elements and to deduce insertion preferences. hATpin elements are distributed on all chromosomes, but with significant bias for chromosomes 1 and 10 and in regions of moderate gene density. This family of class II mobile elements is found primarily in monocot species, but is also present in dicot species.
