Structure-based discovery and description of plant and animal Helitrons.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 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
Helitrons are recently discovered eukaryotic transposons that are predicted to amplify by a rolling-circle mechanism. They are present in most plant and animal species investigated, but were previously overlooked partly because they lack terminal repeats and do not create target site duplications. Helitrons are particularly abundant in flowering plants, where they frequently acquire, and sometimes express, 1 or more gene fragments. A structure-based search protocol was developed to find Helitrons and was used to analyze several plant and animal genomes, leading to the discovery of hundreds of new Helitrons. Analysis of these Helitrons has uncovered mechanisms of element evolution, including end creation and sequence acquisition. Preferential accumulation in gene-poor regions and target site specificities were also identified. Overall, these studies provide insights into the transposition and evolution of Helitrons and their contributions to evolved gene content and genome structure.
