Evolution of the AMP-forming acetyl-CoA synthetase gene in the Drosophilidae family.
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 4 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
Analysis of the AMP-forming ACS gene was performed in 12 species of the Drosophilidae family. Systematically four introns, aligned at the same positions, were detected, but none of them showed a position similar to those known for species outside the Drosophilidae family. The average length of introns varied from 63 to 75 bp but in two species Drosophila takahashii and D. kikkawai the length of the second intron was 343 and 210 bp, respectively. In coding regions, about 80% of the third codon positions were substituted while first and second positions showed, respectively, 14% and 6% substitutions. Interestingly, the divergence observed at the protein level between species was very low. The phylogenetic tree based on the DNA sequences of the exons was mainly in agreement with taxonomic classification and previous molecular phylogenies except for D. ananassae, which appeared more closely related to D. subobscura and D. funebris than to the species of the melanogaster group.
