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 (LINE-1 or L1) retrotransposons represent the only functional family of autonomous transposable elements in humans and formed 17% of our genome. Even though most of the human L1 sequences are inactive, a limited number of copies per individual retain the ability to mobilize by a process termed retrotransposition. The ongoing L1 retrotransposition may result in insertional mutagenesis that could lead to negative consequences such as genetic disease and cancer. For this reason, cells have evolved several mechanisms of defense to restrict L1 activity. Among them, a critical role for cellular deaminases [activation-induced deaminase (AID)/apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) and adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADAR) enzymes] has emerged. The majority of the AID/APOBEC family of proteins are responsible for the deamination of cytosine to uracil (C-to-U editing) within DNA and RNA targets. The ADARs convert adenosine bases to inosines (A-to-I editing) within double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targets. This review will discuss the current understanding of the regulation of LINE-1 retrotransposition mediated by these enzymes.
