Repeated horizontal transfer of P transposons between Scaptomyza pallida and Drosophila bifasciata.

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
Two distinct P element subfamilies, designated M-type and O-type, reside in the genome of D. bifasciata. PCR-screening of 65 Drosophila species revealed that only D. bifasciata and its closest relative D. imaii possess O-type elements. Outside the genus, O-type elements were detected in Scaptomyza pallida. Restriction analyses show that the general structure of the O-type elements from S. pallida and D. bifasciata is the same. Sequence divergence turned out to be extremely low (0.43%). These results suggest that the O-type subfamily of D. bifasciata has been received by horizontal transfer from an external source, most probably from the genus Scaptomyza, as has been previously suspected for the M-type family. Since the sequence divergence between M-type elements from S. pallida and D. bifasciata is eighteen-fold higher than that between O-type elements, two independent intergeneric transfer events have to be postulated. In order to re-examine the taxonomic status of S. pallida, a partial sequence (489 bp) of the Adh gene was analysed. The data clearly prove that S. pallida has to be placed far outside the D. obscura group.
