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

Long interspersed element 1 (L1) is an autonomous non-LTR retroelement that is active in mammalian genomes. Although retrotranspositionally incompetent and functional L1 loci are present in the same genomes, it remains unknown whether non-functional L1s have any trans effect on mobilization of active elements. Using bioinformatic analysis, we identified over a thousand of human L1 loci containing at least one stop codon in their ORF1 sequence. RNAseq analysis confirmed that many of these loci are expressed. We demonstrate that introduction of equivalent stop codons in the full-length human L1 sequence leads to the expression of truncated ORF1 proteins. When supplied in trans some truncated human ORF1 proteins suppress human L1 retrotransposition. This effect requires the N-terminus and coiled-coil domain (C-C) as mutations within the ORF1p C-C domain abolish the suppressive effect of truncated proteins on L1 retrotransposition. We demonstrate that the expression levels and length of truncated ORF1 proteins influence their ability to suppress L1 retrotransposition. Taken together these findings suggest that L1 retrotransposition may be influenced by coexpression of defective L1 loci and that these L1 loci may reduce accumulation of de novo L1 integration events.
