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 functional relationship between tRNAs and retrotransposons have been known for more than 35 years. tRNAs are used as primer molecules to guide the reverse transcription of retrotransposons. Recently, tRNAs have also emerge as important players in the postranscriptional regulation of retrotransposons by means of tRNA-derived small RNAs. This surprisingly new layer of regulation indicates that tRNAs are used both in the promotion and the suppression of the reverse transcription of retrotransposons indicating their primary role in the life cycle of LTR retrotransposons. This adds another level of translational control to tRNAs. Here we review the different known levels of interactions of tRNAs and retrotransposons and highlight the unknown parts of this interaction.
