Microsatellite markers for multiple Pocillopora genetic lineages offer new insights about coral populations.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Population genetics of the coral genus Pocillopora have been more intensively studied than those of any other reef-building taxon. However, recent investigations have revealed that the current morphological classification is inadequate to represent genetic lineages. In this study, we isolated and characterized novel microsatellite loci from morphological Pocillopora meandrina (Type 1) and Pocillopora acuta (Type 5). Furthermore, we characterized previously reported microsatellite loci. A total of 27 loci (13 novel loci) proved useful for population genetic analyses at two sites in the Ryukyu Archipelago, in the northwestern Pacific. Clonal diversity differed in each genetic lineage. Genetic structure suggested by microsatellites corresponded to clusters in a phylogenetic tree constructed from a mitochondrial open reading frame (mtORF). In addition, we found an unknown mitochondrial haplotype of this mtORF. These microsatellite loci will be useful for studies of connectivity and genetic diversity of Pocillopora populations, and will also support coral reef conservation.
