Radiation of extant marsupials after the K/T boundary: evidence from complete mitochondrial genomes.
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 26 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 complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of five marsupial species have been sequenced. The species represent all three South American orders (Didelphimorphia, Paucituberculata, and Microbiotheria). Phylogenetic analysis of this data set indicates that Didelphimorphia is a basal marsupial lineage followed by Paucituberculata. The South American microbiotherid Dromiciops gliroides (monito del monte) groups with Australian marsupials, suggesting a marsupial colonization of Australia on two occasions or, alternatively, a migration of an Australian marsupial lineage to South America. Molecular estimates suggest that the deepest marsupial divergences took place 64-62 million years before present (MYBP), implying that the radiation of recent marsupials took place after the K/T (Cretaceous/Tertiary) boundary. The South American marsupial lineages are all characterized by a putatively non-functional tRNA for lysine, a potential RNA editing of the tRNA for asparagine, and a rearrangement of tRNA genes at the origin of light strand replication.
