Impact of Genetic Variation in Gene Regulatory Sequences: A Population Genomics Perspective.
Review in Frontiers in genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 unprecedented rise of high-throughput sequencing and assay technologies has provided a detailed insight into the non-coding sequences and their potential role as gene expression regulators. These regulatory non-coding sequences are also referred to as cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Genetic variants occurring within CREs have been shown to be associated with altered gene expression and phenotypic changes. Such variants are known to occur spontaneously and ultimately get fixed, due to selection and genetic drift, in natural populations and, in some cases, pave the way for speciation. Hence, the study of genetic variation at CREs has improved our overall understanding of the processes of local adaptation and evolution. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing and better annotations of CREs have enabled the evaluation of the impact of such variation on gene expression, phenotypic alteration and fitness. Here, we review recent research on the evolution of CREs and concentrate on studies that have investigated genetic variation occurring in these regulatory sequences within the context of population genetics.
