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

Nonviral retrotransposons, retropseudogenes, and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are mobile DNA segments capable of transposition to new genomic locations, where they may alter gene expression. De novo integration into specific genes has been described in both germ and somatic cells. We report a family with hereditary elliptocytosis and pyropoikilocytosis associated with a truncated alpha-spectrin protein. We present the biochemical characteristics of this abnormal protein and show that the alpha-spectrin gene is disrupted by a mobile element resulting in exon skipping. This element causes duplication of the insertion site and is terminated by a long poly-A tail downstream of multiple consensus polyadenylation signals. Southern blot analysis of human genomic DNA, using this element as probe, reveals one to three copies per individual. This element has no homology to any previously reported sequence and therefore appears to be a member of a novel family of mobile elements.
