1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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) constitute a significant part of plant genomes and shape their genomic landscape. While some TEs are ubiquitously dispersed, other elements specifically occupy discrete genomic loci. The evolutionary forces behind the chromosomal localization of TEs are poorly understood. Therefore, we first review specific chromosomal niches where TEs are often localized including (i) centromeres, (ii) (sub)telomeres, (iii) genes, and (iv) sex chromosomes. In the second part of this review, we focus on the processes standing behind non-equal distribution of various TEs in genomes including (i) purifying selection, (ii) insertion site preference or targeting of TEs, (iii) post-insertion ectopic recombination between TEs, and (iv) spatiotemporal regulation of TE jumping. Using the combination of the above processes, we explain the distribution of TEs on sex chromosomes. We also describe the phenomena of mutual nesting of TEs, epigenetic mark silencing in TEs, and TE interactions in the 3D interphase nucleus concerning TE localization. We summarize the functional consequences of TE distribution and relate them to cell functioning and genome evolution.
