A newly isolated family of short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) in coregonid fishes (whitefish) with sequences that are almost identical to those of the SmaI family of repeats: possible evidence for the horizontal transfer of SINEs.

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
The SmaI family of repeats is present only in the chum salmon and the pink salmon, and it is not present in five other species in the same genus or in other species in closely related genera. In the present study, we showed that another short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) family, which is almost identical to the SmaI family, is present in all fishes in the subfamily Coregoninae, being regarded as the most primitive salmonids. This new family of SINEs was designated the SmaI-cor family (SmaI family of repeats in coregonids). The consensus sequence of the SmaI-cor family was found to be 98.6% homologous to that of the SmaI family. Accordingly, it is difficult to explain the high degree of homology between these two families of SINEs by any mechanism other than the horizontal transfer of SINEs. The estimates of the rate of neutral mutation of nuclear genes, comparing chum salmon and European whitefish, confirmed this possibility. Our results strongly suggest that a member(s) of the SmaI-cor family might have been transferred horizontally from one coregonid species to a common ancestor of chum and pink salmon or to these two species independently, to allow subsequent amplification of the SmaI family in their respective genomes.
