Deciphering the evolutionary signatures of pinnipeds using novel genome sequences: The first genomes of Phoca largha, Callorhinus ursinus, and Eumetopias jubatus.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 pinnipeds, which comprise seals, sea lions, and walruses, are a remarkable group of marine animals with unique adaptations to semi-aquatic life. However, their genomes are poorly characterized. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the genomes of three pinnipeds (Phoca largha, Callorhinus ursinus, and Eumetopias jubatus), focusing on site-wise sequence changes. We detected rapidly evolving genes in pinniped lineages and substitutions unique to pinnipeds associated with amphibious sound perception. Phenotypic convergence-related sequence convergences are not common in marine mammals. For example, FASN, KCNA5, and IL17RA contain substitutions specific to pinnipeds, yet are potential candidates of phenotypic convergence (blubber, response to hypoxia, and immunity to pathogens) in all marine mammals. The outcomes of this study will provide insight into targets for future studies of convergent evolution or gene function.
