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

FB-NOF is a composite transposable element of Drosophila melanogaster. It is composed of foldback sequences, of variable length, which flank a 4-kb NOF sequence with 308-bp inverted repeat termini. The NOF sequence could potentially code for a 120-kD polypeptide. The FB-NOF element is responsible for unstable mutations of the white gene (wc and wDZL) and is associated with the large TEs of G. Ising. Although most strains of D. melanogaster have 20-30 sites of FB insertion, FB-NOF elements are usually rare, many strains lack this composite element or have only one copy of it. A few strains, including wDZL and Basc have many (8-21) copies of FB-NOF, and these show a tendency to insert at "hot-spots." These strains also have an increased number of FB elements. The DNA sequence of the NOF region associated with TE146(Z) has been determined.
