Origin of the trochophora larva.
Review in Royal Society open science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The trochophora larva, which is so well known from the marine plankton, is central to our understanding of the evolution of a large branch of the bilaterians. Two theories for this larval type have been prevalent, the trochaea theory and the theory proposed by Ivanova-Kazas. The embryology, or more precisely the cell-lineage, of these larvae seems to be central for our understanding of their origin, but important details have been missing. According to the trochaea theory, a circumblastoporal ring of blastomeres differentiates to follow the convoluted shape of the conspicuous ciliary bands of the larvae, with prototroch and metatroch around the mouth, forming a filtering system, and telotroch around the anus. According to the Ivanova-Kazas theory, the blastomeres with the ciliary bands develop through specialization of rings of cells of the general ciliation in a lecithotrophic larva. Now, a new cell-lineage study of the gastropod
