1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

How does diversity arise, and how is it maintained? In a model of microbial competition, Amicone and Gordo find that frequent mutations and the effects of genetic drift generate sufficient phenotypic variation to alter selection such that resource specialists are favored, potentially paving the way for speciation. Their results highlight that processes affecting the distribution of genotypic and phenotypic variation may affect not only population responses to selection but also the direction of selection itself.
