A nested alpha-amylase gene in Drosophila ananassae.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2003. 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 amylase gene family of Drosophila ananassae consists in seven copies, scattered on several chromosomal arms. We have evidenced that a member of the family, Amy35, lies within an intron of a gene homologous to the CG14696 gene of D. melanogaster. This nested arrangement seems restricted to the D. ananassae subgroup. The nested and the nest genes are encoded on opposite strands. Both are actively transcribed in the midgut at the same time, raising the possibility of interference between their mRNAs. Our data also help to elucidate the history of the Amy family, suggesting that Amy35 arose by duplication and translocation from another ancestral locus, into a formerly short intron, in an ancestor of the subgroup.
