Article in Chromosome research : an international journal on the molecular, supramolecular and evolutionary aspects of chromosome biology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
One of the first characteristics that we learn about the genome of many species is the number of chromosomes it is divided among. Despite this, many questions regarding the evolution of chromosome number remain unanswered. Testing hypotheses of chromosome number evolution using comparative approaches requires trait data to be readily accessible and associated with currently accepted taxonomy. The lack of accessible karyotype data that can be linked to phylogenies has limited the application of comparative approaches that could help us understand the evolution of genome structure. Furthermore, for taxonomists, the significance of new karyotype data can only be determined with reference to records for other species. Here, we describe a curated database (karyotype.org) developed to facilitate access to chromosome number and sex chromosome system data for amphibians. The open web interface for this database allows users to generate customized exploratory plots and tables of selected clades, as well as downloading CSV files for offline analyses.
