Monarch Butterfly Migration Moving into the Genetic Era.
Review in Trends in genetics : TIG, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The genetic architecture and neurogenetics of animal migration remain poorly understood. With a sequenced genome and the establishment of reverse genetic tools, the monarch butterfly has emerged as a promising model to uncover the genetic basis of migratory behavior and associated traits. Here, we synthesize major advances made in the genetics of monarch migration, which includes the discovery of genomic regions associated with migration and molecular mechanisms underpinning its seasonality. We highlight the catalytic role that a rapidly growing number of contemporary genetic and molecular technologies applicable to nonconventional organisms have had in these discoveries, and outline new avenues of investigation to continue moving the field forward.
