A streamlined and predominantly diploid genome in the tiny marine green alga Chloropicon primus.
Article in Nature communications, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Tiny marine green algae issued from two deep branches of the Chlorophyta, the Mamiellophyceae and Chloropicophyceae, dominate different regions of the oceans and play key roles in planktonic communities. Considering that the Mamiellophyceae is the sole lineage of prasinophyte algae that has been intensively investigated, the extent to which these two algal groups differ in their metabolic capacities and cellular processes is currently unknown. To address this gap of knowledge, we investigate here the nuclear genome sequence of a member of the Chloropicophyceae, Chloropicon primus. Among the main biological insights that emerge from this 17.4 Mb genome, we find an unexpected diploid structure for most chromosomes and a propionate detoxification pathway in green algae. Our results support the notion that separate events of genome minimization, which entailed differential losses of genes/pathways, have occurred in the Chloropicophyceae and Mamiellophyceae, suggesting different strategies of adaptation to oceanic environments.
