Genome Biology and the Evolution of Cell-Size Diversity.
Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Cell size is highly variable among different species across the Tree of Life. For decades, biologists have generated hypotheses to explain this variation, in many cases, drawing on the correlations that exist among cell size, genome size, nucleus size, and various physiological and developmental parameters. In recent years, our understanding of the molecular processes that generate variation in genome size over evolutionary time, as well as the processes that maintain homeostasis in cell size over ontogenetic time, has increased dramatically. The goal of this article is to highlight how information from these fields can be integrated to generate new hypotheses to explain cell-size diversity.
