Insertion mutations at the maize Opaque2 locus induced by transposable element families Ac, En/Spm and Bg.
Article in Molecular & general genetics : MGG, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Eight independently isolated unstable alleles of the Opaque2 (O2) locus were analysed genetically and at the DNA level. The whole series of mutations was isolated from a maize strain carrying a wild-type O2 allele and the transposable element Activator (Ac) at the wx-m7 allele. Previous work with another unstable allele of the same series has shown that it was indeed caused by the insertion of an Ac element. Unexpectedly, the remaining eight mutations were not caused by the designated Ac element, but by other insertions that are structurally similar or identical to one of two different autonomous transposable elements. Six mutations were caused by the insertion of a transposable element of the Enhancer/Suppressor-Mutator (En/Spm) family. Two mutations were the result of the insertion of a transposable element of the Bergamo (Bg) family. Genetic tests carried out with plants carrying the unstable mutations demonstrated that all were caused by the insertion of an autonomous transposable element.
