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

Transposons and their derivatives make up a major proportion of the human genome, but they are not just relics of ancient genomes. They can still be expressed, potentially affecting the transcription of adjacent genes, and can sometimes even contribute to their coding sequence. Active transposons can integrate into new sites in the genome, potentially modifying the expression of nearby loci and leading to genetic disorders. In this review, we highlight work exploring the expression of transposons in skeletal muscles and transcriptional regulation by the KRAB-ZFP/KAP1/SETDB1 complex. We next focus on specific cases of transposon insertion causing phenotypic variation and distinct muscular dystrophies, as well as the implication of transposon expression in immune myopathies. Finally, we discuss the dysregulation of transposons in facioscapulohumeral dystrophy and aging.
