ReviewThe Journal of heredity
Transposable elements and factors influencing their success in eukaryotes.
Review in The Journal of heredity. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
Recent advances in genome sequencing have led to a vast accumulation of transposable element data. Consideration of the genome sequencing projects in a phylogenetic context reveals that despite the hundreds of eukaryotic genomes that have been sequenced, a strong bias in sampling exists. There is a general under-representation of unicellular eukaryotes and a dearth of genome projects in many branches of the eukaryotic phylogeny. Among sequenced genomes, great variation in genome size exists, however, little difference in the total number of cellular genes is observed. For many eukaryotes, the remaining genomic space is extremely dynamic and predominantly composed of a menagerie of populations of transposable elements. Given the dynamic nature of the genomic niche filled by transposable elements, it is evident that these elements have played an important role in genome evolution. The contribution of transposable elements to genome architecture and to the advent of genetic novelty is likely to be dependent, at least in part, on the transposition mechanism, diversity, number, and rate of turnover of transposable elements in the genome at any given time. The focus of this review is the discussion of some of the forces that act to shape transposable element diversity within and between genomes.
