Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the scallop Placopecten magellanicus: evidence of transposition leading to an uncharacteristically large mitochondrial genome.
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 26 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
Complete sequence determination of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the sea scallop Placopecten magellanicus reveals a molecule radically different from that of the standard metazoan. With a minimum length of 30,680 nucleotides (nt; with one copy of a 1.4 kilobase (kb) repeat) and a maximum of 40,725 nt, it is the longest reported metazoan mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). More than 50% of the genome is noncoding (NC), consisting of dispersed, imperfectly repeated sequences that are associated with tRNAs or tRNA-like structures. Although the genes for atp8 and two tRNAs were not discovered, the genome still has the potential for encoding 46 genes (the additional genes are all tRNAs), 9 of which encode tRNAs for methionine. The coding portions appear to be evolving at a rate consistent with other members of the pectinid clade. When the NC regions containing "dispersed repeat families" are examined in detail, we reach the conclusion that transposition involving tRNAs or tRNA-like structures is occurring and is responsible for the large size and abundance of noncoding DNA in the molecule. The rarity of enlarged mt genomes in the face of a demonstration that they can exist suggests that a small, compact organization is an actively maintained feature of metazoan mtDNA.
