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

Recent discovery of two lineage-specific Platy-1 SINE (Short INterspersed Element) subfamilies, active within the genome of mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata) [AloPal_v1], prompted analyses by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to evaluate their utility for population genetics. A polymorphism rate of 30% was detected by comparison to DNA from a cis-Andean species, A. sara. Concurrently, six new genome assemblies were released for Alouatta species from the cis-Andean clade for comparison. A. palliata also has a more robust amplification of young Alu SINEs, as compared to other Atelidae species, including a limited number of pre-AluTa15 derived insertions. While Alu mobile element insertions (MEIs), have been widely used to study primate phylogenetics, SINEs have not yet been utilized in the study of howler monkey (Alouatta) relationships. This study reports phylogenetically informative presence / absence data and candidate oligonucleotides for locus-specific PCR for 335 young Alu elements from A. palliata as well as over 600 Platy-1 MEIs representing A. palliata, A. caraya, A. belzebul, A. discolor, A. seniculus puruensis, A. s. juara and A. macconnelli. These datasets provide a valuable resource of 'identical by descent' MEIs for the study of howler monkey phylogenetics, population genetics and conservation strategies for application to wild populations.
