The mobilome of Drosophila incompta, a flower-breeding species: comparison of transposable element landscapes among generalist and specialist flies.
Article in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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 Drosophila genus is one of the main model organisms in evolutionary studies, including those investigating the role of transposable elements (TE) in genomic evolution both at the nucleotide and chromosome levels. D. incompta is a species with restricted ecology, using Cestrum (Solanaceae) flowers as unique sources for oviposition, feeding and development. In the present study, we deeply characterise the D. incompta mobilome and generate a curated dataset. A total of 277 elements were identified, corresponding to approximately 14% of the genome, and 164 of these elements are new, of which 32.62% are putatively autonomous and 8.9% are transcriptionally active in adult flies. The restricted ecology does not seem to influence the dynamics of TE in this fly, since the proportion and diversity of TEs in its genome are similar to that of other Drosophila species. This result is reinforced by the absence of a clear pattern when comparing the TE landscape between generalist and specialist flies. Using 32 available Drosophila genomes-24 ecologically generalist species and 8 specialist species-no difference was found between their TE landscape patterns. However, differences were found between species of the Sophophora and Drosophila subgenus, indicating there are lineage-specific factors shaping TE landscapes.
