Tropical Africa as a cradle for horizontal transfers of transposable elements between species of the genera Drosophila and Zaprionus.
Article in Mobile genetic elements, 2011. 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
We have recently reported numerous cases of horizontal transfers of transposable elements between species of drosophilids. These studies revealed a substantial number of horizontal transfers between species of the subgroup melanogaster of the genus Drosophila and between these species and species of the genus Zaprionus. In this review, these transfers and similar, previously reported events are discussed and reanalysed to portray the interrelationships between the species that allowed the occurrence of so many horizontal transfers. The paper also addresses problems that may arise in drawing inferences about the time period during which the horizontal transfers occurred and the factors that may be associated with these transfers are discussed.
