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

A recently identified Alu element (Leeflang et al. J. Mol. Evol. 1993, 37:559-565), referred to as the "putative founder of the HS (PV) subfamily," was found to be present at orthologous loci in the human, chimpanzee, gorilla, and gibbon lineages. The evolution of this Alu suggested that it is a source gene in the evolution of Alu family repeats for one of the most recent subfamilies, HS. We have determined that this putative founder of the HS subfamily was not present at the orthologous loci in older primates, including old world and new world monkeys. Thus, this particular Alu locus has only been responsible for the establishment of a very small subfamily of Alu sequences. We have further demonstrated that this putative founder Alu was not responsible for the de novo Alu insertion into the neurofibromatosis-1 gene of an individual causing neurofibromatosis. Our data demonstrate that although the putative founder of the HS subfamily found by Leeflang et al. (1993) probably gave rise to one of the most recent subfamilies of Alu sequences, it has not been very active in retroposition.
