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

Transposons are an important source of genetic variation. The phytopathogen Moniliophthora perniciosa shows high level of variability but little is known about the role of class I elements in shaping its genome. In this work, we aimed the characterization of a new gypsy/Ty3 retrotransposon species, named MpSaci, in the M. perniciosa genome. These elements are largely variable in size, ranging from 4 to 15 kb, and harbor direct long terminal repeats (LTRs) with varying degrees of similarity. Approximately, all of the copies are non-autonomous as shifts in the reading frame and stop codons were detected. Only two elements (MpSaci6 and MpSaci9) code for GAG and POL proteins that possess functional domains. Conserved domains that are typically not found in retrotransposons were detected and could potentially impact the expression of neighbor genes. Solo LTRs and several LARDs (large retrotransposon derivative) were detected. Unusual elements containing small sequences with or without interruptions that are similar to gag or different pol domains and presenting LTRs with different levels of similarities were identified. Methylation was observed in MpSaci reverse transcriptase sequences. Distribution analysis indicates that MpSaci elements are present in high copy number in the genomes of C-, S- and L-biotypes of M. perniciosa. In addition, C-biotype isolates originating from the state of Bahia have fragments in common with isolates from the Amazon region and two hybridization profiles related to two chromosomal groups. RT-PCR analysis reveals that the gag gene is constitutively expressed and that the expression is increased at least three-fold with nutrient depravation even though no new insertion were observed. These findings point out that MpSaci collaborated and, even though is primarily represented by non-autonomous elements, still might contribute to the generation of genetic variability in the most important cacao pathogen in Brazil.
