A Phylogenomic Framework to Study the Diversity and Evolution of Stramenopiles (=Heterokonts).

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
Stramenopiles or heterokonts constitute one of the most speciose and diverse clades of protists. It includes ecologically important algae (such as diatoms or large multicellular brown seaweeds), as well as heterotrophic (e.g., bicosoecids, MAST groups) and parasitic (e.g., Blastocystis, oomycetes) species. Despite their evolutionary and ecological relevance, deep phylogenetic relationships among stramenopile groups, inferred mostly from small-subunit rDNA phylogenies, remain unresolved, especially for the heterotrophic taxa. Taking advantage of recently released stramenopile transcriptome and genome sequences, as well as data from the genomic assembly of the MAST-3 species Incisomonas marina generated in our laboratory, we have carried out the first extensive phylogenomic analysis of stramenopiles, including representatives of most major lineages. Our analyses, based on a large data set of 339 widely distributed proteins, strongly support a root of stramenopiles lying between two clades, Bigyra and Gyrista (Pseudofungi plus Ochrophyta). Additionally, our analyses challenge the Phaeista-Khakista dichotomy of photosynthetic stramenopiles (ochrophytes) as two groups previously considered to be part of the Phaeista (Pelagophyceae and Dictyochophyceae), branch with strong support with the Khakista (Bolidophyceae and Diatomeae). We propose a new classification of ochrophytes within the two groups Chrysista and Diatomista to reflect the new phylogenomic results. Our stramenopile phylogeny provides a robust phylogenetic framework to investigate the evolution and diversification of this group of ecologically relevant protists.
