Down the slippery slope: plastid genome evolution in Convolvulaceae.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Cuscuta (dodder) is the only parasitic genus found in Convolvulaceae (morning-glory family). We used long PCR approach to obtain large portions of plastid genome sequence from Cuscuta sandwichiana in order to determine the size, structure, gene content, and synteny in the plastid genome of this Cuscuta species belonging to the poorly investigated holoparasitic subgenus Grammica. These new sequences are compared with the tobacco chloroplast genome, and, where data are available, with corresponding regions from taxa in the other Cuscuta subgenera. When all known plastid genome structural rearrangements in parasitic and nonparasitic Convolvulaceae are considered in a molecular phylogenetic framework, three categories of rearrangements in Cuscuta are revealed: plesiomorphic, autapomorphic, and synapomorphic. Many of the changes in Cuscuta, previously attributed to its parasitic mode of life, are better explained either as plesiomorphic conditions within the family, i.e., conditions shared with the rest of the Convolvulaceae, or, in most cases, autapomorphies of particular Cuscuta taxa, not shared with the rest of the species in the genus. The synapomorphic rearrangements are most likely to correlate with the parasitic lifestyle, because they represent changes found in Cuscuta exclusively. However, it appears that most of the affected regions, belonging to all of these three categories, have probably no function (e.g., introns) or are of unknown function (a number of open reading frames, the function of which, if any, has yet to be discovered).
