Taming the Turmoil Within: New Insights on the Containment of Transposable Elements.
Review in Trends in genetics : TIG, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic parasites that can exponentially increase their genomic abundance through self-propagation. Classic theoretical papers highlighted the importance of two potentially escalating forces that oppose TE spread: regulated transposition and purifying selection. Here, we review new insights into mechanisms of TE regulation and purifying selection, which reveal the remarkable foresight of these theoretical models. We further highlight emergent connections between transcriptional control enacted by small RNAs and the contribution of TE insertions to structural mutation and host-gene regulation. Finally, we call for increased comparative analysis of TE dynamics and fitness effects, as well as host control mechanisms, to reveal how interconnected forces shape the differential prevalence and distribution of TEs across the tree of life.
