Where to Draw the LINE-Are Retrotransposable Elements Here to Stay?
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The frequency of somatic retrotranspositions of Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements 1 (LINE1) over a lifetime in healthy colonic epithelium and colorectal tumors has recently been reported. Indicative of a cell type-specific effect, LINE1 sequences in colonic epithelium showed lower levels of DNA methylation compared to other cell types examined in the study. Consistent with a role for DNA methylation in transposon silencing, the decreases in DNA methylation observed at LINE1 elements in colonic epithelium were accompanied by increases in LINE1 mRNA levels. In human primary colorectal tumors, LINE1 retrotransposition frequency was tenfold higher than in normal colonic tissues, with insertions potentially altering genomic stability and cellular functions. Here, we discuss the discoveries made by Nam and colleagues, emphasizing the intestinal-specific methylation signature regulating the LINE1 lifecycle and how this new information could shape future drug discovery endeavors against colorectal cancer.
