Neutral evolution of synonymous base composition in the Brassicaceae.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 GC content of synonymous sites is elevated in genes from both Brassica oleraceae and Arabidopsis lyrata compared with Arabidopsis thaliana. However, this shift in base composition is independent of gene expression level, and there is no evidence for a similar difference in the frequency of codons preferred by translational selection. The results suggest that composition evolution is caused by a change in mutation bias or biased gene conversion, rather than by a reduction in the efficacy of natural selection in selfing Arabidopsis.
