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

We recently reported the identification of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) originating from the Caulimoviridae family within the alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) genome. Our subsequent identification of ubiquitous rhabdoviral elements in infected and healthy alfalfa tissues by high-throughput sequencing suggested that the alfalfa genome might be populated with integrated rhabdoviruses as well. Bioinformatics analysis using 26 publicly available alfalfa genomes proved the suggestion accurate. We found multiple nonretroviral segments of the Rhabdoviridae family belonging to the genera Betanucleorhabdovirus and Betacytorhabdovirus that appeared to be stable constituents of the host genome. In that capacity, they could potentially acquire functional roles in alfalfa development and response to environmental stresses. We believe this study reveals the first documented case of rhabdoviruses integrated into the alfalfa genome.
