A computational genome-wide analysis of long terminal repeats retrotransposon expression in sunflower roots (Helianthus annuus L.).
Article in Genetica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Long terminal repeats (LTR) retrotransposons have a major role in determining genome size, structure and function, thanks to their ability to transpose. We performed a meta-analysis of LTR-retrotransposon expression in roots of sunflower plantlets treated with different plant hormones, chemicals and NaCl. By using Illumina cDNA libraries, available from public repositories, we measured the number of reads matching the retrotranscriptase domains isolated from a whole genome library of retrotransposons. LTR-retrotransposons resulted in general barely expressed, except for 4 elements, all belonging to the AleII lineage, which showed high transcription levels in roots of both control and treated plants. The expression of retrotransposons in treated plants was slightly higher than in the control. Transcribed elements belonged to specific chromosomal loci and were not abundant in the genome. A few elements resulted differentially expressed depending on the treatment. Results suggest that, although most retrotransposons are not expressed, the transcription of such elements is related to their abundance, to their position in the chromosome and to their lineage.
