Evolutionary conservation of an ancient retroviral
Article in Journal of virology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The genomes of mammals contain fingerprints of past infections by ancient retroviruses that invaded the germline of their ancestors. Most of these endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) contain only remnants of the original retrovirus; however, on rare occasions, ERV genes can be co-opted for a beneficial host function. While most studies of co-opted ERVs have focused on envelope genes, including the syncytins that function in placentation, there are examples of co-opted
