"Lost and Found": snoRNA Annotation in the Xenopus Genome and Implications for Evolutionary Studies.
Article in Molecular biology and evolution, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) function primarily as guide RNAs for posttranscriptional modification of rRNAs and spliceosomal snRNAs, both of which are functionally important and evolutionarily conserved molecules. It is commonly believed that snoRNAs and the modifications they mediate are highly conserved across species. However, most relevant data on snoRNA annotation and RNA modification are limited to studies on human and yeast. Here, we used RNA-sequencing data from the giant oocyte nucleus of the frog Xenopus tropicalis to annotate a nearly complete set of snoRNAs. We compared the frog data with snoRNA sets from human and other vertebrate genomes, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. We identified many Xenopus-specific (or nonhuman) snoRNAs and Xenopus-specific domains in snoRNAs from conserved RNA families. We predicted that some of these nonhuman snoRNAs and domains mediate modifications at unexpected positions in rRNAs and snRNAs. These modifications were mapped as predicted when RNA modification assays were applied to RNA from nine vertebrate species: frogs X. tropicalis and X. laevis, newt Notophthalmus viridescens, axolotl Ambystoma mexicanum, whiptail lizard Aspidoscelis neomexicana, zebrafish Danio rerio, chicken, mouse, and human. This analysis revealed that only a subset of RNA modifications is evolutionarily conserved and that modification patterns may vary even between closely related species. We speculate that each functional domain in snoRNAs (half of an snoRNA) may evolve independently and shuffle between different snoRNAs.
