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

The colonization of the nuclear genome by mitochondrial DNA is an ongoing process in eukaryotes and plays an important role in genomic variability. Notwithstanding the DNA sequence availability of about 100 complete eukaryotic genomes, up to now NumtS distribution has been fully reported for a small number of sequenced eukaryotic species. With the aim to clarify the time and way of NumtS evolution, we explored the genomic distribution of NumtS in 23 eukaryotic species using an intra/interspecies in silico approach based on a cross-species similarity search and deeply investigate the evolution of NumtS in mammals. The intra- and interspecies analysis underlined how some mitochondrial regions that populated nuclear genomes can be considered as hotspots. Considering the large amount of NumtS we found in platypus and opossum genomes, we hypothesized the occurrence of an earlier colonization that happened prior to the Prototherian/Therian mammal divergence, approximately 160-210 million years ago. These events are still detectable due to the species-specific dynamics that have affected these genomes. Phylogenetic analyses of NumtS derived from two different mitochondrial DNA loci allowed us to recognize the unusual NumtS evolution that acted differently on primate and non-primate species' genomes.
