Felsenstein Phylogenetic Likelihood.
Article in Journal of molecular evolution, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
In 1981, the Journal of Molecular Evolution (JME) published an article entitled "Evolutionary trees from DNA sequences: A maximum likelihood approach" by Joseph (Joe) Felsenstein (J Mol Evol 17:368-376, 1981). This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for the emerging field of statistical phylogenetics, providing a tractable way of finding maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of evolutionary trees from DNA sequence data. This paper is the second most cited (more than 9000 citations) in JME after Kimura's (J Mol Evol 16:111-120, 1980) seminal paper on a model of nucleotide substitution (with nearly 20,000 citations). On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of JME, we elaborate on the significance of Felsenstein's ML approach to estimating phylogenetic trees.
