Dynamics of gene duplication and transposons in microbial genomes following a sudden environmental change.
Article in Mobile genetic elements, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 impact of gene duplication on evolution is as ubiquitous as point mutation, but this realization is not yet reflected in our quantitative models of population genetics. In this Commentary article, we explore the implications of such models of gene duplication, specifically expanding on our previous work. We lay down a framework for understanding the impact of gene duplications on the evolution a biological network and give an analytical argument based on the concept of mutational error threshold for the necessity of gene duplications for the evolution of complex networks. In other words, by realizing that the impact of mutations must act appropriately in order to allow for the maintenance of complex networks, we develop a mathematical scaling argument that shows why gene duplication provides the types of mutations more favorable to increasing complexity. In the process of doing so, we seek to explain the relationship between per base pair mutation rates and genome size.
