Convergent evolution of twintron-like configurations: One is never enough.
Review in RNA biology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Introns inserted within introns are commonly referred to as twintrons, however the original definition for twintron implied that splicing of the external member of the twintron could only proceed upon splicing of the internal member. This review examines the various types of twintron-like arrangements that have been reported and assigns them to either nested or twintron categories that are subdivided further into subtypes based on differences of their mode of splicing. Twintron-like arrangements evolved independently by fortuitous events among different types of introns but once formed they offer opportunities for the evolution of new regulatory strategies and/or novel genetic elements.
