Evolution of Tom, 297, 17.6 and rover retrotransposons in Drosophilidae species.

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
LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant transposable elements in Drosophila and are believed to have contributed significantly to genome evolution. Different reports have shown that many LTR retrotransposon families in Drosophila melanogaster emerged from recent evolutionary episodes of transpositional activity. To contribute to the knowledge of the evolutionary history of Drosophila LTR retrotransposons and the mechanisms that control their abundance, distribution and diversity, we conducted analyses of four related families of LTR retrotransposons, 297, 17.6, rover and Tom. Our results show that these elements seem to be restricted to species from the D. melanogaster group, except for 17.6, which is also present in D. virilis and D. mojavensis. Genetic divergences and phylogenetic analyses of a 1-kb fragment region of the pol gene illustrate that the evolutionary dynamics of Tom, 297, 17.6 and rover retrotransposons are similar in several aspects, such as low codon bias, the action of purifying selection and phylogenies that are incongruent with those of the host species. We found an extremely complex association among the retrotransposon sequences, indicating that different processes shaped the evolutionary history of these elements, and we detected a very high number of possible horizontal transfer events, corroborating the importance of lateral transmission in the evolution and maintenance of LTR retrotransposons.
