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

The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on genome structure, plasticity, and evolution is still not well understood. The recent availability of complete genome sequences makes it possible to get new insights on the evolutionary dynamics of TEs from the phylogenetic analysis of their multiple copies in a wide range of species. However, this source of information is not always fully exploited. Here, we show how the history of transposition activity may be qualitatively and quantitatively reconstructed by considering the distribution of transposition events in the phylogenetic tree, along with the tree topology. Using statistical models developed to infer speciation and extinction rates in species phylogenies, we demonstrate that it is possible to estimate the past transposition rate of a TE family, as well as how this rate varies with time. This methodological framework may not only facilitate the interpretation of genomic data, but also serve as a basis to develop new theoretical and statistical models.
