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

Miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs) have attracted much attention due to their widespread occurrence and high copy numbers in eukaryotic genomes. However, the systematic knowledge about MITEs in insects and other animals is still lacking. In this study, we identified 6012 MITE families from 98 insect species genomes. Comparison of these MITEs with known MITEs in the NCBI non-redundant database and Repbase showed that 5701(∼95%) of 6012 MITE families are novel. The abundance of MITEs varies drastically among different insect species, and significantly correlates with genome size. In general, larger genomes contain more MITEs than small genomes. Furthermore, all identified MITEs were included in a newly constructed database (iMITEdb) (http://gene.cqu.edu.cn/iMITEdb/), which has functions such as browse, search, BLAST and download. Overall, our results not only provide insight on insect MITEs but will also improve assembly and annotation of insect genomes. More importantly, the results presented in this study will promote studies of MITEs function, evolution and application in insects. DATABASE URL: http://gene.cqu.edu.cn/iMITEdb/.
