1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 phylum Cyanobacteria includes free-living bacteria and plastids, the descendants of cyanobacteria that were engulfed by the ancestral lineage of the major photosynthetic eukaryotic group Archaeplastida. Endosymbiotic events that followed this primary endosymbiosis spread plastids across diverse eukaryotic groups. The remnants of the ancestral cyanobacterial genome present in all modern plastids, enable the placement of plastids within Cyanobacteria using sequence-based phylogenetic analyses. To date, such phylogenetic studies have produced conflicting results and two competing hypotheses: (1) plastids diverge relatively recently in cyanobacterial evolution and are most closely related to nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, or (2) plastids diverge early in the evolutionary history of cyanobacteria, before the divergence of most cyanobacterial lineages. Here, we use phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal proteins from an expanded data set of cyanobacterial and representative plastid genomes to infer a deep placement for the divergence of the plastid ancestor lineage. We recover plastids as sister to
