Chapter 3. Caenorhabditis nematodes as a model for the adaptive evolution of germ cells.
Review in Current topics in developmental biology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A number of major adaptations in animals have been mediated by alteration of germ cells and their immediate derivatives, the gametes. Here, several such cases are discussed, including examples from echinoderms, vertebrates, insects, and nematodes. A feature of germ cells that make their development (and hence evolution) distinct from the soma is the prominent role played by posttranscriptional controls of mRNA translation in the regulation of proliferation and differentiation. This presents a number of special challenges for investigation of the evolution of germline development. Caenorhabditis nematodes represent a particularly favorable system for addressing these challenges, both because of technical advantages and (most importantly) because of natural variation in mating system that is rooted in alterations of germline sex determination. Recent studies that employ comparative genetic methods in this rapidly maturing system are discussed, and likely areas for future progress are identified.
