Pseudogenes: Four Decades of Discovery.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
A pseudogene is defined as a genomic DNA sequence that looks like a mutated or truncated version of a known functional gene. Nearly four decades since their first discovery it has been estimated that between ~12,000 and ~20,000 pseudogenes exist in the human genome. Early efforts to characterize functions for pseudogenes were unsuccessful, thus they were considered functionless relics of evolutionary selection, junk DNA or genetic fossils. Remarkably, an increasing number of pseudogenes have been reported to be expressed as RNA transcripts above and beyond levels considered accidental or spurious transcription. There is emerging evidence that some expressed pseudogene transcripts have biological functions and should be defined as a subclass of functional long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA). In this introductory chapter, I briefly summarize the history and the current knowledge of pseudogenes, and highlight the emerging functions of some pseudogenes in human biology and disease. This second iteration of Pseudogenes in Methods in Molecular Biology highlights new methodological approaches to investigate this intriguing family of lncRNAs and the extent of their biological function.
