Mitochondrial genome diversity: evolution of the molecular architecture and replication strategy.
Review in Current genetics, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
Mitochondrial genomes in organisms from diverse phylogenetic groups vary in both size and molecular form. Although the types of mitochondrial genome appear very dissimilar, several lines of evidence argue that they do not differ radically. This would imply that interconversion between different types of mitochondrial genome might have occurred via relatively simple mechanisms. We exemplify this scenario on patterns accompanying evolution of mitochondrial telomeres. We propose that mitochondrial telomeres are derived from mobile elements (transposons or plasmids) that invaded mitochondria, integrated into circular or polydisperse linear mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) and subsequently enabled precise resolution of the linear genophore. Simply, the selfish elements generated a problem - how to maintain the ends of a linear DNA - and, at the same time, made themselves essential by providing its solution. This scenario implies that insertion or deletion of such resolution elements may represent relatively simple routes for interconversion between different forms of the mitochondrial genome.
