Structural heterogeneity and functional convergence of transposable elements.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Almost half the mammalian genomes consist of transposable elements (TEs) and their derivatives. The distribution density of TEs can be associated with genomic regions of chromosomal rearrangements in different mammalian species and with the genomic localization of protein-coding genes that differ in length and function. To evaluate these characteristics at the local genomic level, an analysis of the distribution of various TEs (retrotransposons and DNA transposons) was performed in three mammalian species (human, cattle, and domestic rabbit) in genes with different functions and chromosomal localizations and their flanking regions. In humans and rabbits, melanophilin (MLPH) and myostatin (MSTN) are syntenic, but not in cattle. In the latter, MLPH and the leptin receptor (LEPR) are syntenic, but not in humans and rabbits. The alpha-thalassemia gene is always located on chromosome X. The results indicate that the frequencies of different TEs are species-specific and do not depend on the length of genes, their function, or chromosomal localization. There were also species-specific differences in the ratio of "ancient" and "young" short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) and long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between ancient SINE + LINE and LTR-ERV (p < 0.01) and a significant negative correlation between young SINE + LINE and DNA transposons (p < 0.05). Competitive relationships between TEs are probably defined by the presence of identical regulatory motifs in different TEs, associated with the reliance of TE amplification on the host's own regulatory systems.
