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

Mag is a retrotransposon found as an insert in the Sericin 2 gene. It is present in a few copies--4 to 15--dispersed in the genome of different strains of Bombyx mori as well as in Bombyx mandarina. Flanked by a 5 bp target sequence with no sequence specificity, it is bordered by direct repeats of 77 nucleotides. Despite their unusual short size, these terminal repeats and their immediately adjacent sequences present all the signals necessary for transcription into genomic RNA and for reverse transcription. Mag contains two overlapping open reading frames which are organized as the gag and pol genes of retroviruses and encode putative nucleic acid binding peptide, protease, reverse transcriptase, RNase H and endonuclease in this order. Sequence comparison of these proteins places mag within the gypsy group of LTR retrotransposons next to the echinoderm element SURL.
