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 new superfamily of transposons from fungi, nematodes, and flies related to the pogo element of Drosophila melanogaster was recognized that represents a branch of the extended superfamily of transposase and integrase proteins sharing a common D.D35E catalytic domain. Searches of human sequences in the public databases for similarity to this domain revealed at least two members of this new superfamily, with many highly mutated copies, in the human genome. A full-length consensus was constructed for one of them, which includes the MER37 medium reiteration frequency sequence recognized previously, from 343 human sequence accessions (261 of which are unique). Most of these were Expressed Sequence Tags, some were Sequence-Tagged Sites, and a few are from long genomic sequences. The 2417 bp consensus has the hallmarks of a pogo superfamily transposon, including 12 bp inverted terminal repeats, and encodes two long open reading frames. The first ORF encodes a polypeptide with 42% amino acid sequence identity to pogo in the D.D35E region. The second element shows 49% amino acid sequence identity with the first, and 40% with pogo in this region. These elements coincide with those described recently as Tigger1 and Tigger2, respectively. These transposons appear to have been active 80-90 Myr ago in the genome of an early primate or primate ancestor.
