Eliminating mitochondrial DNA from sperm.
Article in Developmental cell, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Most eukaryotes show uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In this issue of Developmental Cell, DeLuca and O'Farrell (2012) show that active elimination of mtDNA during sperm development in Drosophila ensures that mature spermatozoa are devoid of DNA.
