Evolutionary pathways of the tirant LTR retrotransposon in the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup of species.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Tirant, a LTR retrotransposon with copies scattered over the chromosome arms of Drosophila melanogaster, is in the process of being lost from the chromosome arms of most natural populations of the sister species D. simulans. In an attempt to clarify the dynamics and evolution of tirant, we have studied the regulatory and reverse transcriptase regions in copies of the nine closely related species of the D. melanogaster subgroup. We show that tirant is mainly vertically transmitted in these species, with the exception of a horizontal transfer event from an ancestor of D. melanogaster to D. teissieri. We propose that, in four of the species (D. melanogaster, D. simulans, D. sechellia, and D. mauritiana), the observed patterns of evolution of the regulatory region vary with genome constraints and with the history and biogeography of the species.
