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

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are a dynamic and biologically significant component of vertebrate genomes, with integration events spanning deep evolutionary time. The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is an important non-human primate model for biomedical research because of its close phylogenetic relationship to humans and its conservation status as an endangered species. However, the ERV complement of its genome has not been systematically characterized. Using the current highest-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for this species, we performed a genome-wide, homology-based survey of relatively intact ERV proviruses in M. fascicularis. We identified 106 proviral loci distributed across all chromosomes. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on conserved reverse transcriptase domains classified these elements into β-, γ-, and unclassified lineages, with β- and γ-retroviral lineages predominating. LTR divergence-based dating indicated that these proviruses represent multiple waves of historical retroviral activity and span a broad range of integration ages. This curated dataset provides a high-confidence reference set for investigating the evolutionary history and genomic impact of preserved ERV proviruses in an endangered primate model; however, it does not include degraded ERV fragments or solo LTRs.
