Evolution through genetically controlled allometry space.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 55 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Understanding evolutionary change requires phenotypic differences between organisms to be placed in a genetic context. However, there are few cases where it has been possible to define an appropriate genotypic space for a range of species. Here we address this problem by defining a genetically controlled space that captures variation in shape and size between closely related species of Antirrhinum. The axes of the space are based on an allometric model of leaves from an F2 of an interspecific cross between Antirrhinum majus and Antirrhinum charidemi. Three principal components were found to capture most of the genetic variation in shape and size, allowing a three-dimensional allometric space to be defined. The contribution of individual genetic loci was determined from QTL analysis, allowing each locus to be represented as a vector in the allometric space. Leaf shapes and sizes of 18 different Antirrhinum taxa, encompassing a broad range of leaf morphologies, could be accurately represented as clouds within the space. Most taxa overlapped with, or were near to, at least one other species in the space, so that together they defined a largely interconnected domain of viable forms. It is likely that the pattern of evolution within this domain reflects a combination of directional selection and evolutionary tradeoffs within a high dimensional space.
