The role of selection in the evolution of marine turtles mitogenomes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Sea turtles are the only extant chelonian representatives that inhabit the marine environment. One key to successful colonization of this habitat is the adaptation to different energetic demands. Such energetic requirement is intrinsically related to the mitochondrial ability to generate energy through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) process. Here, we estimated Testudines phylogenetic relationships from 90 complete chelonian mitochondrial genomes and tested the adaptive evolution of 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes of sea turtles to determine how natural selection shaped mitochondrial genes of the Chelonioidea clade. Complete mitogenomes showed strong support and resolution, differing at the position of the Chelonioidea clade in comparison to the turtle phylogeny based on nuclear genomic data. Codon models retrieved a relatively increased dN/dS (ω) on three OXPHOS genes for sea turtle lineages. Also, we found evidence of positive selection on at least three codon positions, encoded by NADH dehydrogenase genes (ND4 and ND5). The accelerated evolutionary rates found for sea turtles on COX2, ND1 and CYTB and the molecular footprints of positive selection found on ND4 and ND5 genes may be related to mitochondrial molecular adaptation to stress likely resulted from a more active lifestyle in sea turtles. Our study provides insight into the adaptive evolution of the mtDNA genome in sea turtles and its implications for the molecular mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation.
