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

Global genomic analysis of transposable element distributions of both natural (En/Spm, Ac-Ds, and MuDR/Mu) and modified (RescueMu) types was performed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on somatic chromosomes coupled with karyotyping of each chromosome. In lines without an active transposable element, the locations of silent En/Spm, Ac-Ds, and MuDR/Mu elements were visualized, revealing variation in copy number and position among lines but no apparent locational bias. The ability to detect single elements was validated by using previously mapped active Ac elements. Somatic transpositions were documented in plants containing an engineered Mutator element, RescueMu, via use of the karyotyping system. By analyzing the RescueMu lines, we found that transposition of RescueMu in root-tip cells follows the cut-and-paste type of transposition. This work demonstrates the utility of FISH and karyotyping in the study of transposon activity and its consequences.
