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

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences capable of duplicating and reintegrating at new regions within the genome. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that these elements play important roles in host genome evolution, despite being traditionally viewed as parasitic elements. To prevent ectopic activation of TE transposition and transcription, they are epigenetically silenced in most somatic tissues. Intriguingly, a specific class of TEs-retrotransposons-is transiently expressed at discrete phases during mammalian development and has been linked to the establishment of totipotency during zygotic genome activation (ZGA). While mechanisms controlling TE regulation in somatic tissues have been extensively studied, the significance underlying the unique transcriptional reactivation of retrotransposons during ZGA is only beginning to be uncovered. In this review, we summarize the expression dynamics of key retrotransposons during ZGA, focusing on findings from in vivo totipotent embryos and in vitro totipotent-like embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We then dissect the functions of retrotransposons and discuss how their transcriptional activities are finetuned during early stages of mammalian development.
