Lexical Landscapes as large in silico data for examining advanced properties of fitness landscapes.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In silico approaches have served a central role in the development of evolutionary theory for generations. This especially applies to the concept of the fitness landscape, one of the most important abstractions in evolutionary genetics, and one which has benefited from the presence of large empirical data sets only in the last decade or so. In this study, we propose a method that allows us to generate enormous data sets that walk the line between in silico and empirical: word usage frequencies as catalogued by the Google ngram corpora. These data can be codified or analogized in terms of a multidimensional empirical fitness landscape towards the examination of advanced concepts-adaptive landscape by environment interactions, clonal competition, higher-order epistasis and countless others. We argue that the greater Lexical Landscapes approach can serve as a platform that offers an astronomical number of fitness landscapes for exploration (at least) or theoretical formalism (potentially) in evolutionary biology.
