Cannings models, population size changes and multiple-merger coalescents.
Article in Journal of mathematical biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Multiple-merger coalescents, e.g. [Formula: see text]-n-coalescents, have been proposed as models of the genealogy of n sampled individuals for a range of populations whose genealogical structures are not captured well by Kingman's n-coalescent. [Formula: see text]-n-coalescents can be seen as the limit process of the discrete genealogies of Cannings models with fixed population size, when time is rescaled and population size [Formula: see text]. As established for Kingman's n-coalescent, moderate population size fluctuations in the discrete population model should be reflected by a time-change of the limit coalescent. For [Formula: see text]-n-coalescents, this has been explicitly shown for only a limited subclass of [Formula: see text]-n-coalescents and exponentially growing populations. This article gives a more general construction of time-changed [Formula: see text]-n-coalescents as limits of specific Cannings models with rather arbitrary time changes.
