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

Although it is generally accepted that eukaryotic gene order is not random, the basic principles of gene arrangement on a chromosome remain poorly understood. Here, we extended existing population genetics theories that were based on two-locus models and proposed a hypothesis that genetic interaction networks drive the evolution of eukaryotic gene order. We predicted that genes with positive epistasis would move toward each other in evolution, during which a negative correlation between epistasis and gene distance formed. We tested and confirmed our prediction with computational simulations and empirical data analyses. Importantly, we demonstrated that gene order in the budding yeast could be successfully predicted from the genetic interaction network. Taken together, our study reveals the role of the genetic interaction network in the evolution of gene order, extends our understanding of the encoding principles in genomes, and potentially offers new strategies to improve synthetic biology.
