The mitochondrial DNA of land plants: peculiarities in phylogenetic perspective.
Review in Current genetics, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 130 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
Land plants exhibit a significant evolutionary plasticity in their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which contrasts with the more conservative evolution of their chloroplast genomes. Frequent genomic rearrangements, the incorporation of foreign DNA from the nuclear and chloroplast genomes, an ongoing transfer of genes to the nucleus in recent evolutionary times and the disruption of gene continuity in introns or exons are the hallmarks of plant mtDNA, at least in flowering plants. Peculiarities of gene expression, most notably RNA editing and trans-splicing, are significantly more pronounced in land plant mitochondria than in chloroplasts. At the same time, mtDNA is generally the most slowly evolving of the three plant cell genomes on the sequence level, with unique exceptions in only some plant lineages. The slow sequence evolution and a variable occurrence of introns in plant mtDNA provide an attractive reservoir of phylogenetic information to trace the phylogeny of older land plant clades, which is as yet not fully resolved. This review attempts to summarize the unique aspects of land plant mitochondrial evolution from a phylogenetic perspective.
