The interplay of recombination landscape and a transposable element in European populations of Chironomus riparius.
Article in BMC genomics, 2025. 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
backgroundBroadening our taxonomic scope beyond model species offers deeper insights into the evolutionary dynamics of genomic processes such as recombination and the proliferation of transposable elements (TEs). TEs can drive substantial genomic rearrangements, yet the interplay between TEs and recombination remains poorly understood.
resultsTo investigate population-specific recombination patterns, we analysed the distribution of the species-specific Cla-element in the non-biting midge Chironomus riparius. This TE is known for its dynamic behaviour, exhibiting high numbers of unique insertions and population-specific distribution patterns. Its distribution showed no consistent association with recombination rates at the chromosome-wide scale. However, the Cla-element was often found outside haplotype blocks, suggesting it may be spatially separated from regions with low recombination.
conclusionsNo strong association was found between the overall recombination landscape in C. riparius and the transposition activity of repetitive elements. Highlighting how the dynamics of transposable elements contribute to the complexity of genome evolution.
