1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Phylogenetic trees based on gene repertoires are remarkably similar to the current consensus of life history. Yet it has been argued that shared gene content is unreliable for phylogenetic reconstruction because of convergence in gene content due to horizontal gene transfer and parallel gene loss. Here we test this argument, by filtering out as noise those orthologous groups that have an inconsistent phylogenetic distribution, using two independent methods. The resulting phylogenies do indeed contain small but significant improvements. More importantly, we find that the majority of orthologous groups contain some phylogenetic signal and that the resulting phylogeny is the only detectable signal present in the gene distribution across genomes. Horizontal gene transfer or parallel gene loss does not cause systematic biases in the gene content tree.
