Using Information Theory to Detect Rogue Taxa and Improve Consensus Trees.
Article in Systematic biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
"Rogue" taxa of uncertain affinity can confound attempts to summarize the results of phylogenetic analyses. Rogues reduce resolution and support values in consensus trees, potentially obscuring strong evidence for relationships between other taxa. Information theory provides a principled means of assessing the congruence between a set of trees and their consensus, allowing rogue taxa to be identified more effectively than when using ad hoc measures of tree quality. A basic implementation of this approach in R recovers reduced consensus trees that are better resolved, more accurate, and more informative than those generated by existing methods.
