A temperature cline in copy number for 412 but not roo/B104 retrotransposons in populations of Drosophila simulans.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 copy number of the retrotransposable element 412 of Drosophila simulans from populations collected worldwide shows a negative correlation with minimum temperature. No association was detected for the roo/B104 element. The possibility that selective pressures might regulate the 412 copy number in these natural populations is supported by detection of selection against the detrimental effects of 412 insertions (estimated by the proportion of insertions on the X chromosome in comparison with the autosomes) but not roo/B104. These data reveal different spatial patterns for two element families, and strongly suggest that some factors in the environment, such as temperature, may interfere with the control of retrotransposition, thus affecting important aspects of genomic evolution.
