Significant expansion of Vicia pannonica genome size mediated by amplification of a single type of giant retroelement.
Article in Genetics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 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
Amplification and eventual elimination of dispersed repeats, especially those of the retroelement origin, account for most of the profound size variability observed among plant genomes. In most higher plants investigated so far, differential accumulation of various families of elements contributes to these differences. Here we report the identification of giant Ty3/gypsy-like retrotransposons from the legume plant Vicia pannonica, which alone make up approximately 38% of the genome of this species. These retrotransposons have structural features of the Ogre elements previously identified in the genomes of pea and Medicago. These features include extreme size (25 kb), the presence of an extra ORF upstream of the gag-pol region, and a putative intron dividing the prot and rt coding sequences. The Ogre elements are evenly dispersed on V. pannonica chromosomes except for terminal regions containing satellite repeats, their individual copies show extraordinary sequence similarity, and at least part of them are transcriptionally active, which suggests their recent amplification. Similar elements were also detected in several other Vicia species but in most cases in significantly lower numbers. However, there was no obvious correlation of the abundance of Ogre sequences with the genome size of these species.
