Using genomic data to determine the diversity and distribution of target site motifs recognized by class C-attC group II introns.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The attC sites are well-known integrase-targeted elements involved in the insertion and excision of gene cassettes from integrons. Recently, functional analysis of Sma.I2, a class C-attC group II intron, showed that this mobile element invades the attC sites through a specific process. The analysis of genomic data indicates that class C-attC group II introns are independently acquired by their bacterial hosts and evolve in the recognition of a variety of target sites, including the attCs. In addition, adaptation of class C-attC group II introns seemed to be favourable for particular genera, such as Shewanella, suggesting a possible niche for the spread of class C-attC group II introns inserted at attC sites. This understanding suggests a functional role of short palindromic DNA sequences, such as the attCs, as important tools for the acquisition of mobile elements associated with horizontal gene transfer.
