Identification of high-copy number long terminal repeat retrotransposons and their expansion in Phalaenopsis orchids.
Article in BMC genomics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTransposable elements (TEs) are fragments of DNA that can insert into new chromosomal locations. They represent a great proportion of eukaryotic genomes. The identification and characterization of TEs facilitates understanding the transpositional activity of TEs with their effects on the orchid genome structure.
resultsWe combined the draft whole-genome sequences of Phalaenopsis equestris with BAC end sequences, Roche 454, and Illumina/Solexa, and identified long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons in these genome sequences by using LTRfinder and classified by using Gepard software. Among the 10 families Gypsy-like retrotransposons, three families Gypsy1, Gypsy2, and Gypsy3, contained the most copies among these predicted elements. In addition, six high-copy retrotransposons were identified according to their reads in the sequenced raw data. The 12-kb Orchid-rt1 contains 18,000 copies representing 220 Mbp of the P. equestris genome. Southern blot and slot blot assays showed that these four retrotransposons Gypsy1, Gypsy2, Gypsy3, and Orchid-rt1 contained high copies in the large-genome-size/large-chromosome species P. violacea and P. bellina. Both Orchid-rt1 and Gypsy1 displayed various ratios of copy number for the LTR sequences versus coding sequences among four Phalaenopsis species, including P. violacea and P. bellina and small-genome-size/small-chromosome P. equestris and P. ahprodite subsp. formosana, which suggests that Orchid-rt1 and Gypsy1 have been through various mutations and homologous recombination events. FISH results showed amplification of Orchid-rt1 in the euchromatin regions among the four Phalaenopsis species. The expression levels of Peq018599 encoding copper transporter 1 is highly upregulated with the insertion of Orchid-rt1, while it is down regulated for Peq009948 and Peq014239 encoding for a 26S proteasome non-ATP regulatory subunit 4 homolog and auxin-responsive factor AUX/IAA-related. In addition, insertion of Orchid-rt1 in these three genes are all in their intron regions.
conclusionOrchid-rt1 and Gypsy1-3 have amplified within Phalaenopsis orchids concomitant with the expanded genome sizes, and Orchid-rt1 and Gypsy1 may have gone through various mutations and homologous recombination events. Insertion of Orchid-rt1 is in the introns and affects gene expression levels.
