The 3-Minihelix tRNA Evolution Theorem.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the central intellectual property in the evolution of life on Earth. tRNA evolved from repeats and inverted repeats of known sequence. The anticodon and the T stem-loop-stems are homologs with significant conserved sequence identity. A number of models have been advanced to explain tRNA evolution. No 2-minihelix model or accretion model (built a stem at a time) can be correct, in part because of anticodon and T stem-loop-stem identity. Only a 3-minihelix model is adequate.
