Human gene mutation in pathology and evolution.
Review in Journal of inherited metabolic disease, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mutations in human gene pathology and evolution represent two sides of the same coin in that the same mechanisms that have frequently been implicated in disease-associated mutagenesis appear also to have been involved in potentiating evolutionary change. Indeed, the mutational spectra of germline mutations responsible for inherited disease, somatic mutations underlying tumorigenesis, polymorphisms (either neutral or functionally significant) and differences between orthologous gene sequences exhibit remarkable similarities, implying that they may have causal mechanisms in common. Since these different categories of mutation share multiple unifying characteristics, they should no longer be viewed as distinct entities but rather as portions of a continuum of genetic change that links population genetics and molecular medicine with molecular evolution.
