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 are pervasive components of plant genomes, and their role as dynamic architects of genome evolution is increasingly recognized. Beyond their ability to mobilize within genomes, transposable elements facilitate the capture and propagation of host-derived sequences, profoundly influencing genome plasticity. In this review, we provide a comprehensive synthesis of mechanisms of gene capture. These processes can contribute to novel gene formation, gene duplication, and the modification of gene expression regulation, ultimately driving transcriptomic and phenotypic diversity. This review lays the groundwork for crucial future research exploring the evolutionary and functional significance of transposable element-mediated gene capture in plants.
