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

To investigate the recent transposition activity of T2 family miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) in Xenopus tropicalis (Western clawed frog), we analyzed the intraspecific polymorphisms associated with MITE insertion in X. tropicalis for three subfamilies of the T2 family (T2-A1, T2-C, and T2-E). A high frequency of MITE-insertion polymorphisms was observed at the T2-A1 (50%) and T2-C insertion loci (60%), but none were noted at the T2-E insertion locus (0%). Analyses of the collected data indicated that members of the T2-A1 and T2-C subfamilies may be currently active in the host species. Identification of these active transpositions will help us in understanding the mechanisms underlying the long-term survival (over several tens of millions of years) of the T2-A1 and T2-C subfamilies.
