Natural history of transposition in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: use of the AMT4 locus as an experimental system.
Article in Genetics, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The AMT4 locus of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which we mapped to the long arm of chromosome 8, provides a good experimental system for the study of transposition. Most mutations that confer resistance to the toxic ammonium analog methylammonium are in AMT4 and a high proportion of spontaneous mutations are caused by transposon-related events. Among the 15 such events that we have characterized at the molecular level, 9 were associated with insertions of the retrotransposon TOC1, 2 with a small Gulliver-related transposon, and 1 with the Tcr1 transposon. We found that Tcr1 is apparently a foldback transposon with terminal inverted repeats that are much longer and more complex than previously realized. A duplication of Tcr1 yielded a configuration thought to be important for chromosomal evolution. Other mutations in AMT4 were caused by two mobile elements that have not been described before. The sequence of one, which we propose to call the Bill element, indicates that it probably transposes by way of a DNA intermediate and requires functions that it does not encode. The sequence of the other and bioinformatic analysis indicates that it derives from a miniature retrotransposon or TRIM, which we propose to call MRC1 (miniature retrotransposon of Chlamydomonas).
