Transposable Elements: Major Players in Shaping Genomic and Evolutionary Patterns.
Review in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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 ubiquitous genetic elements, able to jump from one location of the genome to another, in all organisms. For this reason, on the one hand, TEs can induce deleterious mutations, causing dysfunction, disease and even lethality in individuals. On the other hand, TEs can increase genetic variability, making populations better equipped to respond adaptively to environmental change. To counteract the deleterious effects of TEs, organisms have evolved strategies to avoid their activation. However, their mobilization does occur. Usually, TEs are maintained silent through several mechanisms, but they can be reactivated during certain developmental windows. Moreover, TEs can become de-repressed because of drastic changes in the external environment. Here, we describe the 'double life' of TEs, being both 'parasites' and 'symbionts' of the genome. We also argue that the transposition of TEs contributes to two important evolutionary processes: the temporal dynamic of evolution and the induction of genetic variability. Finally, we discuss how the interplay between two TE-dependent phenomena, insertional mutagenesis and epigenetic plasticity, plays a role in the process of evolution.
