1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons represent the most abundant family of non-LTR retrotransposons in virtually all mammals. The only currently known exception is Platypus, where it is found only in low copy numbers. Autonomous L1s encode two proteins, ORF1p and ORF2p, both of which are required for the transposition of L1s. L1 replicative machinery is also involved in the trans-mobilization of non-autonomous retrotransposons, such as diverse short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) and processed pseudogenes. Here, we focus on a unique category of "half -L1" elements (HAL1s), which encode ORF1p but not ORF2p. HAL1s are present both in placental mammals and marsupials. We demonstrate that HAL1s originated independently several times during the evolution of mammals. The youngest mammalian HAL1 elements analyzed in this paper were identified in the guinea pig genome. Our analysis strongly suggests that HAL1-encoded ORF1p is essential for the transposition of HAL1s and indicates that the evolution of ORF1p in HAL1s is faster than in L1s. The implications of HAL1 for the evolution of L1 elements and the host genomes are discussed.
