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

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to genome size, organization and evolution. In plants, their activity is primarily controlled by transcriptional gene silencing (TGS), usually investigated at steady states, reflecting how long-established silent conditions are maintained, faithfully reiterated or temporarily modified. How active, invasive TEs are detected and silenced de novo in plants remains largely unknown. Using inbred lineages of hybrid Arabidopsis thaliana epigenomes combining wild-type and mutant chromosomes, we have deciphered the sequence of physiological and molecular events underlying the de novo invasion, proliferation and eventual demise of the single-copy endogenous retrotransposon Evadé (EVD). We show how this reconstructed TE burst causes widespread genome diversification and de novo epiallelism that could serve as sources for selectable and potentially adaptive traits.
