Revisiting bacterial phylogeny: Natural and experimental evidence for horizontal gene transfer of 16S rRNA.
Article in Mobile genetic elements, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
Current methods used for phylogenetic classification of prokaryotes largely rely on the sequences of 16S rRNA genes that are ubiquitously present in the cell. Theoretical basis of this methodology is based on the assumption that 16S rRNA genes are only vertically inherited and are thus indigenous to each species. However, microbial genomic analysis has revealed the existence of prokaryotic species containing two types of rRNA (
