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

Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic sequences that can move, multiply, and often form sizable fractions of vertebrate genomes. Fish belong to a unique group of vertebrates, since their karyotypes and genome sizes are more diverse and complex, with probably higher diversity and evolution specificity of TE. To investigate the characteristics of fish TEs, we compared the mobilomes of 39 species, and observed significant variation of TE content in fish (from 5% in pufferfish to 56% in zebrafish), along with a positive correlation between fish genome size and TE content. In different classification hierarchies, retrotransposons (class), long terminal repeat (order), as well as Helitron, Maverick, Kolobok, CMC, DIRS, P, I, L1, L2, and 5S (superfamily) were all positively correlated with fish genome size. Consistent with previous studies, our data suggested fish genomes to not always be dominated by DNA transposons; long interspersed nuclear elements are also prominent in many species. This study suggests CR1 distribution in fish genomes to be obviously regular, and provides new clues concerning important events in vertebrate evolution. Altogether, our results highlight the importance of TEs in the structure and evolution of fish genomes and suggest fish species diversity to parallel transposon content diversification.
